Carrollton, Georgia. The application
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR
400.23) was docketed on January 20,
2022. The benefits that may stem from
conducting production activity under
FTZ procedures are explained in the
background section of the FTZ Board’s
website—accessible via www.trade.gov/
ftz.
The OFS Fitel facility (518 employees,
44.49 acres) is located within Site 40 of
FTZ 26. The facility is used for the
production of optical fiber products. In
2020, OFS Fitel requested production
authority in a notification proceeding
(15 CFR 400.22 and 400.37). After an
initial review, the requested production
authority was approved subject to
restrictions that included a requirement
that optical fiber and optical bundles be
admitted to the zone in privileged
foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41),
precluding inverted tariff benefits on
those inputs (see B–59–2020, 85 FR
61719–61720, September 30, 2020). The
pending application proposes to remove
that restriction—which would allow
OFS Fitel to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to optical fiber cable (duty-free)
and optical fibers/bundles/ribbon (duty
rate, 6.7%) for the following foreignstatus materials/components
(representing an average 27% of the
value of the finished product): Drawn
optical fiber and drawn optical fiber
bundles (duty rate, 6.7%). The request
indicates that those materials/
components are subject to special 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.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Diane Finver of the FTZ
Staff is designated examiner to evaluate
and analyze the facts and information
presented in the application and case
record and to report findings and
recommendations to the FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is March
28, 2022. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
April 12, 2022.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Online FTZ Information Section’’
section of the FTZ Board’s website,
which is accessible via www.trade.gov/
