Foreign-Trade Zone 230--Piedmont Triad Area, North Carolina; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; United Chemi-Con, Inc.; 
Subzone 230A (Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors); Lansing, North 
Carolina

    The Piedmont Triad Partnership, grantee of FTZ 230, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of United Chemi-Con, Inc. (UCC), operator of Subzone 230A, at its 
facility located in Lansing, North Carolina. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on February 26, 2016.
    UCC already has authority to produce aluminum electrolytic 
capacitors within Subzone 230A. The current request would add new 
foreign components to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status 
components 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 UCC from customs duty 
payments on the foreign status components used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, UCC would be able to choose the duty rate during 
customs entry procedures that applies to aluminum electrolytic 
capacitors (free) for the foreign status inputs noted below and in the 
existing scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be 
deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The components sourced from abroad are: Boric acid; D-Mannitol; 
polyoxy ethylene glyceline; polyvinyl/p-nitrobenzy alcohol; ammonium 
benzoate; adipic acid; ammonium adipate; maleic acid; gamma resorcylic 
acid; isomeric decanedicarboxylic & 1,2,3,4-butanetracarboxylic; 
polyethylene glycol phosphate; KIP (gamma-butyrolactone & 1-ethyl-2,3-
dimethylimidazoliniium hydrogen phthalate mixture); PEG1000 
polyethylene glycol; MMA-10R (carbolic acid mixture); wax poly white; 
silicone oil; polypropylene tape; sleeving and nuts of plastic; end 
disks; gaskets of ethylene propylene diene monomer; steel screws/nuts/
hexes; aluminum waste/scrap/tab stock/foil/inserts/rivets/washers/
springs/lock washers; and, metal clamps and

brackets (duty rate ranges from free to 6.5%).
    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 April 13, 2016.
    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.
