Download as PDF 31812 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 4, 2008 / Notices and wire (7904.00) (duty rates: duty– free to 5.8 percent). FTZ procedures would exempt IG from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. Approximately 25 percent of production could be exported. On domestic sales, the company could choose the lower duty rate that applies to the finished product (2.5 to 6 percent) for the imported components used in manufacturing. The majority of IG’s savings will come from the elimination of duties on materials that become scrap/waste during manufacturing. IG may also realize savings related to direct delivery and weekly customs entry procedures. The application indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures would help improve the facility’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, Christopher Kemp of the FTZ staff is 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 the address listed below. The closing period for their receipt is August 4, 2008. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to August 18, 2008).
