Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 45220 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 155 / Monday, August 13, 2007 / Notices Supplier USA, Inc. (KSU), to assemble automotive door trim components under FTZ procedures within FTZ 38. It was formally filed on August 3, 2007. The KSU facility (25 employees) is located at 201 Commerce Court within the Highway 290 Commerce Park (Site 3) in Duncan, South Carolina. Under FTZ procedures, KSU would assemble up to 2.2 million automotive door trim components (HTSUS 8708.29) annually for the U.S. market and export. Foreign components that would be used in the assembly activity (up to 100% of total purchases) include: Aluminum frames, B pillars, C and D pillars, waist race bolts, division bars, fasteners, powder coatings of carbon black and barium sulfate, and rubber seals (duty rates: Free—2.5%). FTZ procedures would exempt KSU from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in production for export to non-NAFTA countries. On domestic shipments transferred in-bond to U.S. automobile assembly plants with subzone status, no duties would be paid on the foreign components within the door trim components until the finished vehicles are subsequently entered for consumption, at which time the finished automobile duty rate (2.5%) could be applied to the foreign components. For the finished door trim components withdrawn directly by KSU for customs entry, the finished automotive part rate (2.5%) could be applied to the foreign inputs noted above. The application indicates that the company would also realize duty deferral and certain logistical/supply chain savings. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the following address: Office of the Executive Secretary, Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230–0002. The closing period for receipt of comments is October 12, 2007. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to October 29, 2007. A copy of the application will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board’s Executive Secretary at the address listed above. For further information, contact Pierre Duy, examiner, at: pierre_duy@ita.doc.gov, or (202) 482–1378. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:19 Aug 10, 2007 Jkt 211001 Dated: August 3, 2007.
