Foreign-Trade Zone 74--Baltimore, MD, Notification of Proposed 
Production Activity, J.D. Neuhaus LP (Overhead Lifting Equipment 
Production) Sparks, MD

    The Baltimore Development Corporation, grantee of FTZ 74, submitted 
a notification of proposed production activity on behalf of J.D. 
Neuhaus LP (J.D. Neuhaus), located in Sparks, Maryland. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on June 13, 2012.
    The J.D. Neuhaus facility is located within Site 27 of FTZ 74. The 
facility is used for the production of customized overhead lifting 
equipment. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt J.D. Neuhaus 
from customs duty payments on the foreign status components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, J.D. Neuhaus would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
overhead lifting equipment and their parts, including hoist and trolley 
systems, winches, and cranes (duty free) for the foreign status inputs 
noted below. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced 
on foreign status production equipment.
    Components and materials sourced from abroad include: air and 
hydraulic powered hoist and trolley subassemblies and parts, cranes/
winches and related parts, hoist chain, lubricating oils, plastic air 
hoses, rubber gaskets and o-rings, fasteners, springs, air filters, air 
pressure regulators, valves and related parts, and bearings and bearing 
components (duty rate ranges from free to 9%). The request indicates 
that certain bearings and bearing components are subject to an 
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order. The FTZ regulations (15 
CFR 400.14(e)) require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD actions be 
admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
    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 13, 2012.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
