Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 82—Mobile,
Alabama; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity; Aker Solutions,
Inc. (Subsea Oil and Gas Systems);
Mobile, Alabama
Aker Solutions, Inc. (Aker) submitted
a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board for its facility
in Mobile, Alabama. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.22) was received on August 7, 2020.
Aker already has authority to produce
undersea umbilicals (approved as
Kvaerner Oilfield Products), flying leads
(steel tube; hydraulic), cobra head
terminations, various assemblies
(umbilical termination; subsea
distribution; mud mat), and various
jumpers (integrated controls; hydraulic
bridge) within FTZ 82. The current
request would add a foreign-status
material/component to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
material/component described in the
submitted notification (as described
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:50 Aug 17, 2020
Jkt 250001
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Aker from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status material/
component used in export production.
On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus material/component noted below,
Aker would be able to choose the duty
rates during customs entry procedures
that apply to the above listed finished
products (duty rate ranges from dutyfree to 3.7%). Aker 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 polymers of vinyl
chloride (PVC) (duty rate 3.1%). The
request indicates that the material/
component is subject to duties under
Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974
(Section 301), depending on the country
of origin. The applicable Section 301
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 and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
September 28, 2020.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the Board’s
website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz.
