Zone procedures would exempt
Kodak from Customs duty payments on
products that are reexported. On its
shipments to the U.S. market, the
company would be able to defer duty
payments until merchandise is shipped
from the plant and entered for
consumption. For certain imported
merchandise that is processed into a
‘‘kit’’ with other merchandise, a change
in customs classification and
consequent lower duty rate may apply
(such duty savings are estimated to
constitute nine percent of the facilities’
estimated $ 700,000 to $ 1 million in
total annual subzone–related savings).
Kodak would also be able to avoid duty
on foreign inputs which become scrap/
waste, estimated at one percent of FTZ–
related savings. Kodak may also realize
logistical/procedural and other benefits
from subzone status. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
international competitiveness of
Kodak’s U.S. operations.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.

Foreign–Trade Zone 26 Atlanta,
Georgia, Application For Subzone,
Eastman Kodak Company, (X–ray film,
Color Paper, Digital Media, Inkjet
Paper, Entertainment Imaging, and
Health Imaging), Lawrenceville,
Georgia
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by Georgia Foreign–Trade Zone,
Inc., grantee of FTZ 26, requesting
special–purpose subzone status for the
facility of the Eastman Kodak Company
(Kodak), located in Lawrenceville,
Georgia. The application was submitted
pursuant to the Foreign–Trade Zones
Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u),
and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally filed on
September 26, 2005.
The facility for which subzone status
is proposed (17.35 acres; one building
with 249,550 sq. ft. of enclosed space)
is located at 2225 Cedars Road in
Lawrenceville. The facility is used for
the storage and distribution, as well as
certain processing operations (e.g.,
‘‘kitting’’), of imported products related
E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM
03OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 190 / Monday, October 3, 2005 / Notices
to X–ray film, color paper, digital
media, inkjet paper, entertainment
imaging, and health imaging. Kodak
indicates that authority to perform its
processing operations under FTZ
procedures may result in changes in
tariff classifications and duty rates for
imported products. The application
states that ‘‘some of the potential items
that might be included in kitting
operations in different combinations’’
are cameras (HTSUS 8525.40.4000),
docking station (8471.80.1000), docking
station with charger (8504.40.9550),
printer dock (8471.60.5500), camera
bags (4202.92.9026), batteries (8506 8507), battery chargers (8504.40.9550),
mini tripods (9006.91.0000), memory
cards (8473.30.1080), USB cable
(8544.41.4000), and power cable printer dock (8544.51.9000). Duty rates
on these items range from duty–free to
17.6% ad valorem.
The application also requests
authority to include a broad range of
inputs and final products that the plant
may warehouse, distribute, or process
under FTZ procedures in the future
within the categories of X–ray film,
color paper, digital media, inkjet paper,
entertainment imaging (i.e., motion
picture film, consumer film and related
chemicals), and health imaging (i.e.,
other health imaging film, equipment
and related chemicals). (New major
activity in these inputs/products could
require review by the FTZ Board.)

products to be admitted to the proposed
subzone include: 2620, 2710, 2803,

constitute five percent of the facility’s
estimated $ 200,000 to $ 350,000 in total
annual subzone–related savings). Kodak
would also be able to avoid duty on
foreign inputs which become scrap/
waste, estimated at one percent of FTZ–
related savings. Kodak may also realize
logistical/procedural and other benefits
from subzone status. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
international competitiveness of
Kodak’s U.S. operations.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff
has been designated examiner to
investigate the application and report to
the Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original

(Docket 47-2005)
Foreign-Trade Zone 26 Atlanta, Georgia, Application For Subzone,
Eastman Kodak Company, (X-ray film, Color Paper, Digital Media, Inkjet
Paper, Entertainment Imaging, and Health Imaging), Lawrenceville,
Georgia
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 26,
requesting special-purpose subzone status for the facility of the
Eastman Kodak Company (Kodak), located in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The
application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally filed on September 26, 2005.
The facility for which subzone status is proposed (17.35 acres; one
building with 249,550 sq. ft. of enclosed space) is located at 2225
Cedars Road in Lawrenceville. The facility is used for the storage and
distribution, as well as certain processing operations (e.g.,
``kitting''), of imported products related
[[Page 57557]]
to X-ray film, color paper, digital media, inkjet paper, entertainment
imaging, and health imaging. Kodak indicates that authority to perform
its processing operations under FTZ procedures may result in changes in
tariff classifications and duty rates for imported products. The
application states that ``some of the potential items that might be
included in kitting operations in different combinations'' are cameras
(HTSUS 8525.40.4000), docking station (8471.80.1000), docking station
with charger (8504.40.9550), printer dock (8471.60.5500), camera bags
(4202.92.9026), batteries (8506 - 8507), battery chargers
(8504.40.9550), mini tripods (9006.91.0000), memory cards
(8473.30.1080), USB cable (8544.41.4000), and power cable - printer
dock (8544.51.9000). Duty rates on these items range from duty-free to
17.6% ad valorem.
The application also requests authority to include a broad range of
inputs and final products that the plant may warehouse, distribute, or
process under FTZ procedures in the future within the categories of X-
ray film, color paper, digital media, inkjet paper, entertainment
imaging (i.e., motion picture film, consumer film and related
chemicals), and health imaging (i.e., other health imaging film,
equipment and related chemicals). (New major activity in these inputs/
products could require review by the FTZ Board.) General HTSUS
categories of imported products to be admitted to the proposed subzone
include: 2620, 2710, 2803, 2804, 2806, 2811, 2812, 2815, 2825, 2827,

9032, 9033, 9106, 9402, 9405, 9612, and 9705. The duty rates on these
products range from duty-free to 38%.
Zone procedures would exempt Kodak from Customs duty payments on
products that are reexported. On its shipments to the U.S. market, the
company would be able to defer duty payments until merchandise is
shipped from the plant and entered for consumption. For certain
imported merchandise that is processed into a ``kit'' with other
merchandise, a change in customs classification and consequent lower
duty rate may apply (such duty savings are estimated to constitute five
percent of the facility's estimated $ 200,000 to $ 350,000 in total
annual subzone-related savings). Kodak would also be able to avoid duty
on foreign inputs which become scrap/waste, estimated at one percent of
FTZ-related savings. Kodak may also realize logistical/procedural and
other benefits from subzone status. The request indicates that the
savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the international
competitiveness of Kodak's U.S. operations.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and
report to the Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive
Secretary at one of the following addresses:
