The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 8, 2017. MBUSA already has FTZ authority for accessorizing passenger motor vehicles within Site 6 of FTZ 74. The current request would add foreign-status materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and components described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt MBUSA from customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export production. On its domestic sales, MBUSA would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to passenger motor vehicles (duty rate— VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:32 May 31, 2017 Jkt 241001 2.5%) for the foreign-status inputs noted below and in the existing scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment. The components and materials sourced from abroad include plastic statuettes and other ornamental articles, carpets of man-made fiber, smart cards/ memory cards for data storage, and steering wheels (duty rates range from free to 5.3%). The applicant indicates that carpets of man-made fibers would be admitted to the FTZ in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). This would preclude inverted tariff benefits on the foreign-status carpets used in its domestic sales of passenger motor vehicles. 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 July 11, 2017. A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ Board’s Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 74--Baltimore, Maryland; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Mercedes Benz USA, LLC (Accessorizing 
Passenger Motor Vehicles); Baltimore, Maryland

    The City of Baltimore, Maryland, grantee of FTZ 74, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of Mercedes Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA), located in Baltimore, Maryland. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 8, 2017.
    MBUSA already has FTZ authority for accessorizing passenger motor 
vehicles within Site 6 of FTZ 74. The current request would add 
foreign-status materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant 
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific 
foreign-status materials and components described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt MBUSA from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, MBUSA would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to passenger 
motor vehicles (duty rate--2.5%) for the foreign-status inputs noted 
below and in the existing scope of authority. Customs duties also could 
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include plastic 
statuettes and other ornamental articles, carpets of man-made fiber, 
smart cards/memory cards for data storage, and steering wheels (duty 
rates range from free to 5.3%). The applicant indicates that carpets of 
man-made fibers would be admitted to the FTZ in privileged foreign 
status (19 CFR 146.41). This would preclude inverted tariff benefits on 
the foreign-status carpets used in its domestic sales of passenger 
motor vehicles.
    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 July 11, 2017.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
