Proposed Production Activity Eastman
Chemical Company (Acetic Anhydride
and Acetic Acid) Kingsport, Tennessee
The Tri-Cities Airport Authority,
grantee of FTZ 204, submitted a
notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of
Eastman Chemical Company (Eastman
Chemical), located in Kingsport,
Tennessee. The notification conforming
to the requirements of the regulations of
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on November 21, 2017.
The Eastman Chemical facility is
located within Site 12 of FTZ 204. The
facility is used for the separation via
vacuum distillation of an imported
blend of acetic anhydride and acetic
acid. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status materials and components
and specific finished products described
in the submitted notification (as
described below) and subsequently
authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Eastman Chemical from
customs duty payments on the foreignstatus components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status material/component
noted below, Eastman Chemical would
be able to choose the duty rates during
customs entry procedures that apply to
acetic acid and acetic anhydride (duty
rate ranges from 1.8 to 3.5%). Eastman
Chemical would be able to avoid duty
on foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign-status production
equipment.

Proposed Reestablishment and
Expansion of Site—Foreign-Trade
Zone 276 Kern County, California
Pursuant to the provisions of the
Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
part 400), an application has been
submitted to the FTZ Board by Kern
County, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone
276, requesting to reestablish the zone
adjacent to the Los Angeles/Long Beach
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
port of entry. The reestablished zone
would be comprised of previously
approved Site 2, which the application
proposes to expand.
FTZ 276 was initially approved on
January 19, 2010, as a new zone
adjacent to the Meadows Field user-fee
airport (Board Order 1653, 75 FR 8920–
8921, February 26, 2010). A user-fee
airport may serve as a port of entry for
purposes of establishing, operating and
maintaining a FTZ pursuant to the FTZ
Board’s regulations (see 15 CFR
400.2(m)). The grantee now proposes to
reestablish the zone as an additional
zone adjacent to the Los Angeles/Long
Beach U.S. Customs and Border
Protection port of entry. The
reestablished zone would be comprised
of Site 2—within the Tejon Ranch
Commerce Center, located at the
