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.
