DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-18-2024]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 90, Notification of Proposed Production
Activity; PPC Broadband, Inc.; (Fiber Optic Conduit); East Syracuse,
New York
PPC Broadband, Inc. submitted a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facilities in East
Syracuse, New York, within Subzone 90C. The notification conforming to
the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on April 26, 2024.
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and
specific finished product(s) 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 <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. The proposed finished
product(s) and material(s)/component(s) would be added to the
production authority that the Board previously approved for the
operation, as reflected on the Board's website.
The proposed finished product is fiber optic conduit (duty rate,
3.1%).
The proposed foreign-status materials and components include
polyester pull cord, copper clad steel wire, polyethylene pellets, and
polypropylene pellets (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 7.5%). The
request indicates that polyester pull cord will be admitted to the zone
in privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41), thereby precluding
inverted tariff benefits on such items. The request also indicates that
certain 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:
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4620323c06323427222368212930"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="5137252b1125233035347f363e27">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is June 17, 2024.
A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
in the ``Online FTZ Information System'' section of the Board's
website.

Dated: May 1, 2024.
Elizabeth Whiteman,
Executive Secretary.
