Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 244--Riverside County, California, 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity, ModusLink Global 
Solutions, (Camera and Accessories Kitting), Riverside, California

    The March Joint Powers Authority, grantee of FTZ 244, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of ModusLink Global Solutions (ModusLink) located in Riverside, 
California. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 21, 
2014.
    The ModusLink facility is located within Site 5 of FTZ 244. The 
facility is used for the kitting of cameras and accessories into retail 
packages on behalf of GoPro, Inc. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 
components 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 ModusLink from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, ModusLink would be able to choose 
the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to protective 
lens covers, camera bundles, and lens replacement kits (duty rates 
range from 2.0 to 5.3%) for the foreign status inputs noted below. 
Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign 
status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: 1 inch 
diameter clear plastic adhesive; double adhesive foam cushions; display 
boxes; plastic bags; plastic water housing assemblies; rubber seals for 
water housing door; molded plastic replacement camera housings; 
accessory boxes; tray tops for packaging; accessory boxes with shelf; 
warranty cards; printed carnets; security tethers; washers; Wi-Fi 
remotes (including with key ring); metal mounting adapters (micro SD to 
USB 2.0); battery transmitters; rechargeable batteries; Wi-Fi 
transmitters; remotes; cameras; LCD transmitters; cables (composite, 
120 pin mini USB to CVBS audio/video and micro HDMI to HDMI); silicon 
dioxide for anti-fog inserts; flat and curved adhesive mounts; rubber 
floats for cameras; textile bag packs; stickers/labels; textile chest 
mount harnesses; Wi-Fi remote key ring attachments; thumbscrew wrench/
bottle openers; rechargeable batteries; Wi-Fi transmitters-English/
French; video players; micro SD memory cards; radar transmitters; 
composite cable bundles; microphone stand mounts; lens filters; 3D 
glasses; and 24 inch metal camera bars (duty rates range from duty-free 
to 20%). The request indicates that inputs included in certain textile 
categories (classified within HTSUS Subheadings 4202.92 and 6307.90) 
will be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 
146.41), thereby precluding inverted tariff benefits on such items.
    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 July 15, 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.,
