[B-39-2018]
Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 106--Oklahoma City, Oklahoma;
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Eastman Kodak Company
(Printing Flexographic Plates); Weatherford, Oklahoma
Eastman Kodak Company (Eastman Kodak) submitted a notification of
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in
Weatherford, Oklahoma. The notification conforming to the requirements
of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on
June 13, 2018.
Eastman Kodak already has authority to produce flexographic
finished plates, aluminum finished printing plates, thermo imaging
layer, direct imaging recording film sheets, and direct imaging record
film rolls within Subzone 106F. 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 Eastman Kodak from
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials/components noted below, Eastman Kodak would be able to choose
the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to finished
products in the existing scope of authority. Eastman Kodak would be
able to avoid duty on foreign-status components which become scrap/
waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign-status production equipment.
The materials/components sourced from abroad include non-aromatic
esters of amino-acids, propylene oxide-modified trimethylol propane
triacrylate and foamed polyethylene resin sheet (packaging material
used between plates) (duty rates range from 3% to 6.5%).
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address
below. The closing period for their receipt is August 6, 2018.
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,
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
Board's website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
For further information, contact Christopher Wedderburn at
[email protected] or (202) 482-1963.
Dated: June 19, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
