Foreign-Trade Zone 181--Akron/Canton, OH, Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity, Cimbar Performance Minerals, (Barium 
Sulfate Grinding), Wellsville, OH

    The Northeast Ohio Trade & Economic Consortium, grantee of FTZ 181, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity on behalf of 
Cimbar Performance Minerals (Cimbar), located in Wellsville, Ohio. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on October 10, 2012.
    The Cimbar facility is located within Site 12 of FTZ 181. The 
facility is used for the grinding of raw barium sulfate into ground 
barium sulfate. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Cimbar 
from customs duty payments on the foreign status components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, Cimbar would be able to 
choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to 
ground barite (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 raw barium sulfate (duty rate of $1.25 per metric ton).
    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 November 26, 2012.
    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 Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
