NOTICES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE [Image]Foreign[Image][Image]-Trade[Image] [Image]Zones[Image] Board [Docket 35-91] [Image]Foreign[Image][Image]-Trade[Image] [Image]Zone[Image] 123--Denver, CO; Application for Subzone, Storage Technology Corporation Information Storage Equipment Plant Boulder County, CO Tuesday, June 25, 1991 *28862 (Cite as: 56 FR 28862, *28862) An application has been submitted to the [Image]Foreign[Image][Image]-Trade [Image] [Image]Zones[Image] Board (the Board) by the City and County of Denver, Colorado, grantee of FTZ 123, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the information storage equipment manufacturing facilities of Storage Technology Corporation (StorageTek) located in Boulder County, Colorado, some 25 miles northwest of Denver. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the [Image]Foreign[Image][Image]-Trade[Image] [Image]Zones[Image] Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on June 12, 1991. StoregeTek is an international producer of large capacity electronic data storage and retrieval systems, impact printers and related data management software. It has plants in the U.S. and the U.K., and annual sales of $1 billion. The proposed subzone would include the company's Boulder County, Colorado, production and distribution operations (5,000 employees): Site 1 (360 acres)-- 2270 South 88th St., Louisville; Site 2 (153 acres)--2345 Clover Basin Drive, Longmont; Site 3 (58,000 sq. ft.)--1351 S. Sunset Street, Longmont; Site 4 (92,000 sq. ft.)--520 Burbank Street, Broomfield. StorageTek's Colorado facilities are used to manufacture large capacity electronic information storage and retrieval subsystems for data processing applications involving reel and cartridge tape devices, automatic cartridge library systems, solid-state disk subsystems, cached and non-cached disk control units, rotating magnetic disk subsystems, impact printers, and associated software. Some 10 percent of its components are sourced abroad, including hard and floppy disk drive units, table and rack mounted storage devices, printed circuit assemblies, high capacity output units, laser printers, power supplies, and related ADP parts and accessories, as well as electric motors, generators, transformers, capacitors, resistors, switches, photosensitive semiconductor devices, bearings, wire and cable, lenses, measuring instruments, air and vacuum pumps, and certain articles of rubber and ceramic. Currently, 40 percent of the finished products are exported. Zone procedures would exempt StorageTek from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in equipment produced for export. On domestic sales, the company would be able to choose the duty rates that apply to the finished products (0.0-4.2 percent). The duty rates on most components range from 0.0 to 16.0 percent. The application indicates that zone savings will help improve StorageTek's international competitiveness and increase export sales. In accordance with the Board's regulations, an examiners committee has been appointed to investigate the application and report to the Board. The committee consists of: Dennis Puccinelli (Chairman), [Image]Foreign[Image] [Image]-Trade[Image] [Image]Zones[Image] Staff, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230; Donald W. Myhra, District Director, U.S. Customs Service, North Central Region, 300 Second Avenue South, Great Falls, Montana 59401; and Colonel Stewart Bornhoft, District Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer District Omaha, 25 North 17th Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68102-4978. Comments concerning the proposed subzone are invited in writing from interested parties. They should be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address below and postmarked on or before August 9, 1991.
