Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 57--Charlotte, North Carolina 
Notification of Proposed Export Production Activity Gildan Yarns, LLC 
(Cotton, Cotton/Polyester Yarns) Salisbury, North Carolina

    The Charlotte Regional Partnership, Inc., grantee of FTZ 57, 
submitted a notification of proposed export production activity to the 
FTZ Board on behalf of Gildan Yarns, LLC (Gildan), located in 
Salisbury, North Carolina. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on December 8, 2014.
    The Gildan facility is located within Site 19 of FTZ 57. The 
activity at the facility would involve the production of spun cotton 
and cotton/polyester yarns for export (no shipments for U.S. 
consumption would occur). 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 Gildan from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status material used in export production. 
The sole foreign-origin material to be used in the export production is 
polyester staple fiber (duty rate: 4.3%). Customs duties also could 
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment 
or the foreign material scrapped or destroyed under U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection procedures.
    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 January 27, 
2015.
