Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 148--Knoxville, Tennessee; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; CoLinx, LLC; (Bearing Units) 
Crossville, Tennessee

    CoLinx, LLC (CoLinx) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facilities in Crossville, 
Tennessee within FTZ 148. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on November 17, 2016.
    CoLinx already has authority to produce kits of bearing products 
within Sites 2, 6, 8 and 9 of FTZ 148. The current request would add 
foreign status materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant 
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the 
specific foreign-status materials/components described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt CoLinx from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, CoLinx would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to mounted unit 
roller assemblies (housed, spherical roller bearing units) and mounted 
unit ball assemblies (housed ball bearing units) (duty rate 4.5%) for 
the foreign-status materials/components noted below. Customs duties 
also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production 
equipment.
    The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Single-row, 
radial ball bearings (Y-bearings); bearings housings for ball bearings; 
and, corrugated paperboard boxes (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 
5.8%).
