Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 129, Notification of Proposed Production 
Activity; Corvus Energy USA Ltd.; (Energy Storage Systems); Bellingham, 
Washington

    Corvus Energy USA Ltd., submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in 
Bellingham, Washington within Subzone 129C. The notification conforming 
to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on August 17, 2026.
    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 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 foreign-status materials/components include: stainless 
steel snap rings; steel compression springs; aluminum end plates; 
aluminum enclosure weldments; and, printed circuit boards (duty rate 
ranges from duty-free to 2.5%).
    The request indicates that certain materials/components are subject 
to duties under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (section 
232), and section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (section 301), depending 
on the country of origin. The applicable section 232 and section 301 
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in 
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). The request also indicates 
that aluminum end plates and aluminum enclosure weldments are subject 
to an antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order/investigation if 
imported from China. The Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.13(c)(2)) 
require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders, or items which would 
be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD 
procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be admitted to the 
zone in privileged foreign 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#7412000e3400061510115a131b02"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6b0d1f112b1f190a0f0e450c041d">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is September 30, 
2026.

website.
