AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce; Office of
Insular Affairs, Department of the
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This action allocates calendar
year 2001 duty-exemptions for watch
producers located in the Virgin Islands
pursuant to Pub. L. 97–446, as amended
by Pub. L. 103–465 (‘‘the Act’’).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Faye
Robinson, (202) 482–3526.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Act, the Departments of the
Interior and Commerce (the
Departments) share responsibility for
the allocation of duty exemptions
among watch assembly firms in the
United States insular possessions and
the Northern Mariana Islands. In
accordance with Section 303.3(a) of the
regulations (15 CFR 303(a)), the total
quantity of duty-free insular watches
and watch movements for calendar year
2001 is 1,866,000 units for the Virgin
Islands (65 F.R. 8048, February 17,
2000).
The criteria for the calculation of the
calendar year 2001 duty-exemption
allocations among insular producers are
set forth in Section 303.14 of the
regulations (15 CFR 303.14).
The Departments have verified and
adjusted the data submitted on
application form ITA–334P by Virgin
Islands producers and inspected their
current operations in accordance with
Section 303.5 of the regulations (15 CFR
303.5).
In calendar year 2000 the Virgin
Islands watch assembly firms shipped
624,215 watches and watch movements
into the customs territory of the United
States under the Act. The dollar amount
of creditable corporate income taxes
paid by Virgin Islands producers during
calendar year 2000 plus the creditable
wages paid by the industry during
calendar year 2000 to residents of the
territory was $3,175,576.
There are no producers in Guam,
American Samoa or the Northern
Mariana Islands.
The calendar year 2001 Virgin Islands
annual allocations, based on the data
verified by the Departments, are as
follows:
Name of firm
Annual
allocation
Belair Quartz, Inc. ...................
500,000
Hampden Watch Co., Inc. ......
200,000
Unitime Industries, Inc. ...........
500,000
Tropex, Inc. .............................
300,000
The balance of the units allocated to
the Virgin Islands is available for new
entrants into the program or producers
who request a supplement to their
allocation.
