Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 90--Onondaga County, New York; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; PPC Broadband, Inc.; 
Subzone 90C (Coaxial Jumper Cables); Dewitt, New York

    The Onondaga County Office of Economic Development, grantee of FTZ 
90, submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
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 August 
12, 2014.
    PPC Broadband already has authority to produce coaxial cable 
connectors within Subzone 90C. The current request would add a finished 
product (coaxial jumper cables with connectors) and an input (coaxial 
cable) to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 
additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign-
status materials/components and specific finished products described in 
the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently 
authorized by the FTZ Board.
    The additional production under FTZ procedures could exempt PPC 
Broadband from customs duty payments on the coaxial cable and on the 
components in the existing scope of authority used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, PPC Broadband would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
coaxial jumper cables with connectors for the foreign-status coaxial 
cable (duty rate for both is 5.3%) and for the foreign-status 
components in the existing scope of authority. 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 FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is October 6, 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.
