The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 27, 2016. Thoma-Sea already has authority for the construction and repair of oceangoing vessels within Subzone 279A. The current request would add a foreign status material/component to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-status material/component and specific finished product described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.

On its domestic sales, Thoma-Sea would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to offshore supply ships and vessels (duty-free) for the foreign-status materials/components noted below and in the existing scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment. The additional material/component sourced from abroad is: Tunnel thrusters (duty-free).
