The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 May 28, 2008. The IG facility (26 employees) is located at 720 South Sara Road, in Mustang, and includes one 60,000 sq. ft. building. The facility is used for manufacturing activity involving metal fabrication, stamping, machining, welding and assembly activities of customized gaskets, seals and stamping products comprised of various metals and rubber materials. IG is requesting to manufacture industrial electric lighting fixtures and certain motor vehicles parts (tubing, flanges, seals, instrument panel assemblies, electrical boxes) under FTZ procedures (HTSUS 8708.99, 9405.40), with duty rates of 2.5 to 6 percent. At full capacity the facility could manufacture up to 5,250,000 units annually. Materials sourced from abroad (approximately 25 percent of the value of the finished product) include: spring and lock washers (7318.21); aluminum bars, rods and profiles (7604.10); aluminum plates, sheets and strip (7606.11); aluminum tubes and pipes (7608.10); and, zinc bars, rods, profiles E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1 31812 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 108 / Wednesday, June 4, 2008 / Notices and wire (7904.00) (duty rates: duty– free to 5.8 percent).
