producers and pertaining to inspection
of timber products produced in
accordance with RUS specifications. In
order to ensure the security of loan
funds, adequate quality control of
timber products is vital to loan security
on electric power systems where
hundreds of thousands of wood poles
and cross-arms are used. Since RUS and
its borrowers do not have the expertise
or manpower to quickly determine
imperfections in the wood products or
their preservatives treatments, they
must obtain service of an inspection
agency to ensure that the specifications
for week poles and cross-arms are being
met.

Jkt 217001
[Docket 12–2009]
Foreign–Trade Zone 29 – Louisville, KY
Application for Subzone Status
Reynolds Packaging LLC
(Aluminum Foil Liner Stock)
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Louisville and Jefferson
County Riverport Authority, grantee of
FTZ 29, requesting special–purpose
subzone status for the aluminum foil
liner stock manufacturing plant and
warehouse of Reynolds Packaging LLC
(Reynolds), located in Louisville,
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Kentucky. 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 March 25,
2009.
The proposed subzone would include
Reynolds’ facilities (637 employees) at
two sites in the city of Louisville: Site
1 (manufacturing plant/3.63 acres/
165,758 sq.ft.) – 1225 West Burnett
Avenue; and, Site 2 (warehouse
distribution/9.51 acres/614,215 sq.ft.) –
2827 Hale Avenue, located one mile
south of Site 1. The manufacturing plant
is used to produce aluminum foil liner
stock (up to 70 million pounds
annually) used in flexible packaging
applications for the U.S. market and
export. The manufacturing process
involves laminating, oven curing,
slitting, and packaging. The foreign–
origin input used in the activity is
aluminum converter foil (7607.11.3000,
duty rate: 5.8%), which represents about
25 percent of the value of the finished
aluminum foil liner stock. The
application indicates that Reynolds
would also admit foreign–origin bulk
aluminum foil to the proposed subzone
to be repackaged and distributed for
consumer retail sale in the U.S. market.
FTZ procedures could exempt
Reynolds from customs duty payments
on the foreign aluminum converter foil
used in export production (about 15%
of annual shipments). On domestic
shipments, the company would be able
to elect the duty rate that applies to
finished aluminum foil liner stock (duty
free) for the foreign aluminum converter
foil. Reynolds would also be exempt
from duty payments on any aluminum
foil for consumer use that becomes
scrap or waste during the repackaging
activity. The application indicates that
the savings from FTZ procedures would
help improve the facilities’ international
competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy 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
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 June 1, 2009.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15–day period to [insert 75
days from date of publication].
