Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 203—Moses
Lake, Washington; Notification of
Proposed Production Activity;
Framatome, Inc. (Fuel Rod
Subassemblies); Richland,
Washington
Framatome, Inc. (Framatome)
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for
its facility in Richland, Washington. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on March 6, 2019.
Framatome (approved as AREVA,
Inc.) already has authority to produce
fuel rod assemblies within Site 4 of FTZ
203. The current request would add a
finished product and a foreign-status
material/component to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
limited to the specific foreign-status
material/component and specific
finished product described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Framatome from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below and in the existing scope
of authority, Framatome would be able
to choose the duty rate during customs
entry procedures that applies to fuel rod
subassemblies (duty rate 3.3%).
Framatome 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.
The material/component sourced
from abroad is stainless steel billets
(duty-free). The request indicates that
the stainless steel billets are subject to
special duties under Section 232 of the
Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section
232), depending on the country of
origin. The applicable Section 232
decisions require subject merchandise
to be admitted to FTZs in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
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 6,
2019.
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,
