The Economic Development

petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States

firms contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of the firms’
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 40—
Cleveland, Ohio; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity;
Swagelok Company (Valve Component
Parts); Solon, Willoughby Hills,
Highland Heights, and Strongsville,
Ohio
The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port
Authority, grantee of FTZ 40, submitted
a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of
Swagelok Company (Swagelok) located
in Solon, Willoughby Hills, Highland
Heights, and Strongsville, Ohio. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on December 26, 2017.
The Swagelok facilities are located
within Subzone 40I. The facilities are
used for production of industrial
fittings, finished valves, pressure
reducing valves, and regulators.
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 Swagelok from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production
(estimated at 13 percent of production).
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted
below, Swagelok would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to: High
pressure reinforced plastic hoses; teflon
tubing; plastic tubing with fittings;
polytetrafluoroethylene and plastic
hoses; plastic and nylon fittings and
nuts; plastic and teflon ferrules; rubber
hoses with and without fittings; rubber
hoses with fittings reinforced or
otherwise combined with textile
