Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 50--Long Beach, California; Notification
of Proposed Production Activity; Schlosser Forge Company (Aerospace and
Industrial Turbine Engine Parts, Forgings); Rancho Cucamonga,
California
The Board of Harbor Commissioners of the Port of Long Beach,
grantee of FTZ 50, submitted a notification of proposed production
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Schlosser Forge Company
(Schlosser), located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR 400.22) was received on February 4, 2014.
The Schlosser facility is located within Site 22 of FTZ 50. The
facility is used for the production of nickel, aluminum, and titanium-
based forgings and parts of turbine engines (e.g., rings and discs)
used in aerospace and industrial gas turbine applications. 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. The proposed scope of FTZ production
authority would not involve inverted tariff benefits on foreign
titanium inputs (all foreign titanium will be admitted to the zone in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41)).
Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Schlosser from customs
duty payments on the foreign status material inputs used in export
production. On its domestic sales, Schlosser would be able to defer
payment of customs duties on the foreign titanium inputs (duty rate--
15%). Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
The materials sourced from abroad include: titanium alloy, aluminum
alloy, and nickel alloy (duty rate ranges from free to 15%).
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 April 14, 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: February 20, 2014.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
