Foreign-Trade Zone 203--Moses Lake, Washington, Export-Only 
Manufacturing Authority, SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC, (Carbon 
Fiber); Notice of Temporary Approval

    On January 4, 2011, an application was submitted by the Port of 
Moses Lake Public Corporation, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 203, 
requesting authority on behalf of SGL Automotive Carbon Fibers, LLC 
(SGL) to manufacture carbon fiber under FTZ procedures solely for 
export within Site 3 of FTZ 203 in Moses Lake, Washington. The request 
was given notice in the Federal Register inviting public comment 
(Docket 4-2011, 76 FR 1599, 1/11/2011).
    Section 400.32(b)(1)(ii) of the FTZ Board's regulations (15 CFR 
part 400) allows the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration to 
act for the Board in making decisions on new manufacturing authority 
when the activity would be for export only. Pursuant to that regulatory 
provision, on May 13, 2011, the Assistant Secretary for Import 
Administration approved authority for SGL's export-only manufacturing 
activity for a two-year period (until May 13, 2013), subject to the FTZ 
Act (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.28.
    For any potential approval by the FTZ Board of authority beyond the 
initial two-year period, the SGL application is continuing to be 
processed under Docket 4-2011, including the conduct of an industry 
survey pursuant to 15 CFR 400.27(d)(3)(vi).

    Dated: May 20, 2011.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
