Foreign-Trade Zone 26—Atlanta,
Georgia, Application for Additional
Production Authority, PBR, Inc. d/b/a
SKAPS Industries, (Non-Woven
Geotextiles), Athens, Georgia
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc.,
grantee of FTZ 26, requesting additional
production authority on behalf of PBR,
Inc. d/b/a SKAPS Industries (SKAPS),
located in Athens, Georgia. The
application conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.23) was
docketed on March 12, 2014.
The SKAPS facilities (185 employees)
are located within Site 29 of FTZ 26.
The facilities are used for the
production of non-woven geotextile
fabric using polypropylene staple fiber.
SKAPS requested FTZ production
authority in a notification proceeding
(15 CFR 400.22) in 2013 (see, 78 FR
54234, 9–3–2013; Doc. B–37–2013).
After an initial review, the requested
production authority was limited to a
five-year initial term, as well as a
restriction that precludes inverted tariff
benefits on foreign polypropylene staple
fiber used in production of non-woven
geotextile fabrics for U.S. consumption.
The pending application seeks to
remove the above-mentioned restriction
by requesting authority for SKAPS to
choose the duty rate during customs
entry procedures that applies to nonwoven geotextile fabrics (duty rate—
free) for the polypropylene staple fiber
(duty rate—4.3%) sourced from abroad.
The request indicates that the savings
related to inverted tariff benefits on
polypropylene staple fiber used in
production for the U.S. market would
further improve the facilities’
international competitiveness.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Pierre Duy of the FTZ Staff
is designated examiner to evaluate and
analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is May
20, 2014. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
May 20, 2014.
