The application was formally filed on February 2, 2006. The applicant is requesting to perform wheel assembly using domestic and foreign components on behalf of auto manufacturer clients at the proposed MNA subzone in Monee, Illinois (FTZ Doc. 15–2005, 70 FR 14443, 3/22/05). Foreign–sourced components include tires (HTSUS 4011.10, 4011.20, 4011.61, 4011.62, 4011.63, 4011.92, 4011.93, 4011.94, 4011.99, duty–free to 4.0%), wheel rims (HTSUS 8708.70, duty–free to 2.5%), flaps (HTSUS 4012.90, duty– free to 4.2%), valves (HTSUS 8481.80, duty–free to 5%), tubes (HTSUS 4013.10, duty–free to 3.7%), gaskets (HTSUS 4016.93, duty–free to 2.5%), sensors (HTSUS 8525.10, duty–free), and nuts (HTSUS 7318.16, duty–free). FTZ procedures would exempt MNA from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in production for export to non–NAFTA countries. On shipments for U.S. consumption and to NAFTA markets, MNA could elect the wheel assembly duty rate (generally dutiable as an auto part ¥2.5%) for the foreign components (mostly tires dutiable at 4%) listed above. The auto part duty rate (2.5%) would apply if the wheel assemblies are shipped via zone– to-zone transfer to U.S. motor vehicle assembly plants with subzone status. The application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s international competitiveness. 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: 1.
