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

    Oracle Flexible Packaging, Inc. (OFP), an operator of FTZ 230, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board for its facility 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 January 6, 2014.
    OFP already has authority to produce laminated foil and foil backed 
paper products. The current request would add a new finished product 
(foil backed paperboard) and certain foreign material to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited 
to the specific foreign-status materials 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 OFP from customs duty 
payments on the foreign status materials used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, OFP would be able to choose the duty rate during 
customs entry procedures that applies to foil backed paperboard (free) 
for the foreign status input noted below and the inputs in the existing 
scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or 
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The material sourced from abroad is aluminum converter foil (duty 
rate: 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 March 17, 2014.
    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.
    For further information, contact Pierre Duy at [email protected] 
or (202) 482-1378.

    Dated: January 22, 2014.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
