[Docket 24-2008]
Foreign-Trade Zone 161--Sedgwick County, KS; Amendment to
Application for Subzone Status; Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (Aircraft
Manufacturing), Wichita and Salina, KS
A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by Hawker Beechcraft Corporation (HBC) to amend the company's
application requesting special-purpose subzone status for the company's
aircraft manufacturing facilities located in Wichita and Salina,
Kansas.
HBC is now requesting to correct the HTSUS number for the finished
product as described in the original Federal Register notice (Docket
24-2008, 73 FR 21903-21904, 4/23/08) to accurately reflect the category
of aircraft that are produced at the company's facilities. The correct
HTSUS number should be 8802.30 (airplanes and other aircraft of an
unladen weight exceeding 2,000 kg but not exceeding 15,000 kg). There
is no change to the duty rate (duty-free) and the finished products
will be manufactured using the same imported parts and components
(duty-free to 15 percent) as described in the original Federal Register
notice.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive
Secretary at the address listed below. The closing period for their
receipt is October 27, 2008. Rebuttal comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period (to November 10, 2008).
A copy of the application amendment will be available at each of
the following addresses: U.S. Department of Commerce Export Assistance
Center, 150 North Main Street, Suite 200, Wichita, Kansas; and, Office
