DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B-5-2014]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 230--Piedmont Triad Area, North
Carolina; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Oracle Flexible
Packaging, Inc. (Foil Backed Paperboard); Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Oracle Flexible Packaging, Inc. (OFP), an operator of FTZ 230,
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ
Board for its facility located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on January 6, 2014.
OFP already has authority to produce laminated foil and foil backed
paper products. The current request would add a new finished product
(foil backed paperboard) and certain foreign material to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials and specific finished products
described in the submitted notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt OFP from customs duty
payments on the foreign status materials used in export production. On
its domestic sales, OFP would be able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that applies to foil backed paperboard (free)
for the foreign status input noted below and the inputs in the existing
scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
The material sourced from abroad is aluminum converter foil (duty
rate: 5.8%).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for their receipt is March 17, 2014.
A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board,
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
For further information, contact Pierre Duy at [email protected]
or (202) 482-1378.
Dated: January 22, 2014.

Executive Secretary.
