On June 21, 2005, a notice seeking comments on the possible revision of the standards to allow for a lesser amount of color or varying shades of color was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 21392) with the comment period ending August 22, 2005.

Both comments received did not support the revision of the standards based on color being a factor of the ripening process, and the effect VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:52 Oct 05, 2005 Jkt 208001 that it has on the marketing of dewberries and blackberries.

Inc., (Manufacture/Refurbish Toner Cartridges), Bartlett, Tennessee An application has been submitted to the Executive Secretary of the Foreign– Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the City of Memphis and Shelby County, Division of Planning and Economic Development, grantee of FTZ 77, requesting temporary/interim manufacturing (T/IM) authority within Subzone 77B at the Brother Industries (U.S.A.) Inc. plant located in Bartlett, Tennessee. The application was filed on September 29, 2005. The Brother facility (260 employees; annual capacity for 120,000 toner cartridges) is located within Subzone 77B. Under T/IM procedures, the company has requested authority to manufacture, remanufacture, charge and recharge toner cartridges (HTS 8472.90 and 8473.30; these products enter the United States duty free). The company may source the following items from abroad for manufacturing of one or both of the finished products under T/IM authority, as delineated in Brother’s application: toner (HTS 3707.90); toner caps (3923.50); collars, guards, and covers (3926.90); seals (5911.90); labels (4821.10); developer rollers (9009.99); bearings (8483.30); springs (7320.20); gears (8483.90); retaining rings (7318.29); washers (7318.22); and ‘‘lower film’’ (3919.90). Duty rates on these inputs range from duty–free to 6.5%. T/IM authority could be granted for a period of up to two years. Brother has also submitted a request for permanent FTZ manufacturing authority (for which Board filing is pending), which includes five additional inputs. FTZ procedures would allow Brother to elect the finished–product duty rates for the imported production inputs listed above. The company indicates that it would also realize logistical/ paperwork savings under FTZ procedures.Public comment is invited E:\FR\FM\06OCN1.SGM 06OCN1
