Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 75--Phoenix, Arizona, Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity, Isola USA Corporation (Dielectric Prepreg 
and Copper-Clad Laminate), Chandler, Arizona

    The City of Phoenix, Arizona, grantee of FTZ 75, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of Isola USA Corporation (Isola), located in Chandler, Arizona. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 19, 2014.
    A separate application for usage-driven site designation at the 
Isola facility was submitted and will be processed under Section 400.38 
of the Board's regulations. The facility is used to produce customized 
dielectric prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets used by its 
customers to fabricate multilayer printed circuit boards. Pursuant to 
15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific 
foreign-status material 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 Isola from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status material used in export production. 
On its domestic sales, Isola would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to customized dielectric 
prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets (duty rates--4.2% and 3%, 
respectively) for foreign-status electrical grade woven fiberglass 
rolls (HTSUS 7019.52.4010, duty rate--7.3%). Customs duties also could 
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    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 May 13, 2014.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
