Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 27--Boston, Massachusetts, Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity, Claremont Flock, (Textile Flock), 
Leominster, Massachusetts

    The Massachusetts Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 27, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of Claremont Flock, a division of Spectro Coating Corporation 
(Claremont Flock), located in Leominster, Massachusetts. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on June 1, 2015.
    The Claremont Flock facility is located at 107 Scott Drive, 
Leominster, Massachusetts. A separate application for subzone 
designation at the Claremont Flock facility has been submitted and will 
be processed under Section 400.25 of the FTZ Board's regulations. The 
facility is used for the production of acrylic and rayon textile flock. 
Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b) of the regulations, 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 Claremont Flock from 
customs duty payments on foreign status materials used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Claremont Flock would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
textile flock (free) for the acrylic and rayon tow (duty rate--7.5%) 
sourced from abroad. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or 
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    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 29, 2015.
    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.,

FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
