    The Lasko facilities are located at 1700 Meacham Boulevard, 4925-
4933 Pylon Street, and 4600 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth (Tarrant 
County), Texas. A separate application for ``usage-driven'' site 
designation at the Lasko facilities is planned and will be processed 
under Section 400.24 of the FTZ Board's regulations. The facilities are 
used for the production of household electric fans. 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 Lasko from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status materials and components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, Lasko would be able to choose 
the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to household 
electric fans (2.3, 4.7%) for the foreign status inputs noted below. 
Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign 
status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: plastic 
labels; parts of fans (housings, grills, pedestal assemblies, blades); 
electric motors; electronic transmitters; electrical cords and 
switches; fasteners; metal name plates; paper manuals; and, paperboard 
cartons (duty rate ranges from free to 6.2%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the

    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
