Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 26—Atlanta,
Georgia; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; PBR, Inc. d/b/a/
SKAPS Industries (Non-Woven
Geotextiles); Athens, Georgia
PBR, Inc. d/b/a/SKAPS Industries
(SKAPS) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility in Athens, Georgia.
The notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on March 9, 2018.
SKAPS’ facility is located within Site
29 of FTZ 26. The facility currently has
authority to produce non-woven
geotextile fabric using polypropylene
staple fiber (PPSF) for a five-year period
(until August 23, 2018) subject to a
restriction requiring admission of all
foreign-status PPSF to the zone under
privileged foreign status (19 CFR
146.41). SKAPS’ current notification
would extend that restricted authority
indefinitely.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
activity would be limited to the specific
foreign-status material 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 SKAPS from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
material used in its export production of
non-woven geotextiles (duty-free).
SKAPS would be able to avoid duty on
foreign-status material which become
scrap/waste. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign-status production equipment.
The material sourced from abroad is
PPSF (duty rate 4.3%), which will be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41), thereby
precluding inverted tariff benefits.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The

closing period for their receipt is May 8,
2018.
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
