The Richland-Lexington Airport District, Columbia Metropolitan

(Isola) located in Ridgeway, South Carolina. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15
CFR 400.22) was received on March 17, 2015.
The Isola facility is located within Site 4 of FTZ 127. The
facility is used to produce customized dielectric prepreg and copper-
clad laminate sheets used by its customers to fabricate multilayer
printed circuit boards. 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

prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets (duty rates--4.2% and 3%,
respectively) for foreign-status electrical grade woven fiberglass
rolls and bonding prepreg (duty rates--7.3% and 4.2%, respectively).
Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-
