Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 230--Piedmont Triad Area, North 
Carolina; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Oracle Flexible 
Packaging, Inc.; (Foil-Backed Paperboard); Winston-Salem, North 
Carolina

    The Piedmont Triad Partnership, grantee of FTZ 230, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity on behalf of Oracle 
Flexible Packaging, Inc. (OFPI), located in Winston-Salem, North 
Carolina. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 25, 
2013.
    The OFPI facility is located within Site 28 of FTZ 230. The 
facility is used for the production of aluminum foil-backed paperboard 
and to laminate plastic film (the laminating activity is not 
``production'' activity under the FTZ Board's regulations). Pursuant to 
15 CFR 400.14(b), 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 OFPI from customs duty 
payments on the foreign status materials and components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, OFPI would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to aluminum foil-
backed paperboard and aluminum scrap (free--3.7%) for the foreign 
aluminum foil noted below. Customs duties also could possibly be 
deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: aluminum 
foil (not backed) and plastic (propylene) film (duty rate ranges from 
3.0 to 5.8%).
    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 May 28, 2013.
    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 
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.

or (202) 482-1378.

    Dated: April 9, 2013.
