Board on behalf of PPC Broadband, Inc. (PPC Broadband), located in 
Dewitt, New York. The notification conforming to the requirements of 
the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 
10, 2014.
    A separate application for subzone designation at the PPC Broadband 
facilities is being submitted and will be processed under Section 
400.38 of the FTZ Board's regulations. The facilities are used for the

FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials 
and components and specific finished products described in the

production. On its domestic sales, PPC Broadband would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
coaxial cable connectors (duty free) for the foreign-status inputs
