    A separate request for subzone designation at the Cormetech 
facility is planned and will be processed under Section 400.31 of the 
FTZ Board's regulations. The facility is used for the production of

duty payments on the foreign status materials and components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, Cormetech would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
selective catalyst reduction catalysts and related elements (free) 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: Anatase 
titanium dioxide; glass fiber; clay; carboxyl methyl cellulose; 
polypropylene (RP chop); polyethylene oxide (PEO); ammonium 
metavanadate (AMT); hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (methocel); manganese 
acetate; vanadyl oxalate; ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM); pressing/
