Foreign-Trade Zone 186—Waterville,
Maine; Notification of Proposed
Production Activity, Flemish Master
Weavers (Machine-Made Woven Area
Rugs), Sanford, Maine
The City of Waterville, Maine, grantee
of FTZ 186, submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board (the Board) on behalf of Flemish
Master Weavers (FMW), located in
Sanford, Maine, within Subzone 186A.
The notification conforming to the
requirements of the Board’s regulations
(15 CFR 400.22) was received on August
2, 2022.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ
production activity would be limited to
the specific foreign-status materials/
components and specific finished
product described in the submitted
notification (summarized below) and
subsequently authorized by the Board.
The benefits that may stem from
conducting production activity under
FTZ procedures are explained in the
background section of the Board’s
website—accessible via www.trade.gov/
ftz.
In 2016, FMW received limited FTZ
authority to produce machine-made
woven area rugs using polypropylene
and polyester yarns in privileged foreign
(PF) status (19 CFR 146.41), which
precludes inverted tariff benefits on
those inputs (see 81 FR 51850, August
5, 2016).
In 2017, FMW requested authority to
admit continuous filament
polypropylene (CFPP) yarn in
nonprivileged foreign (NPF) status (19
CFR 146.42) (B–28–2017, 82 FR 26434,
6/7/2017). That request was approved
subject to the following restrictions: (1)
the annual quantitative volume of CFPP
yarn that FMW may admit into Subzone
186A under NPF status was limited to
3 million kilograms; and, (2) approval
was limited to an initial period of five

years, subject to extension upon review
(Board Order 2071, 83 FR 54709, 10/31/
2018).
The pending notification requests to
remove the restriction requiring
admission in PF status for CFPP yarn—
to which FMW’s operation would
otherwise be subject beginning on
October 25, 2023 (upon expiration of the
time-limited authority approved in
Board Order 2071).
The finished product is machinemade woven area rugs (duty-free). The
proposed foreign-status materials and
components include single-ply and twoply continuous filament polypropylene
textured yarn (duty rates 8.8% and 8%
respectively). The request indicates that
the materials/components are 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
PF status.
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 19, 2022.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Online FTZ Information System’’
section of the Board’s website.
