Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 141--Monroe County, New York; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Xerox Corporation; 
Subzone 141B (Bulk Toner, Toner Cartridges and Photoreceptors); 
Webster, New York

    The County of Monroe, New York, grantee of FTZ 141, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of Xerox Corporation (Xerox) located within Subzone 141B in Webster, 
New York. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 7, 
2016.
    The Xerox facility is used for the production of bulk toner, toner 
cartridges and photoreceptors. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 
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 Xerox from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Xerox would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to bulk toner, 
toner cartridges and photoreceptors (duty rates range from free to 
6.5%) 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: Strontium 
titanate; zinc stearate; titanium dioxide; silicon dioxide; 
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE); polymethylmethacrylate; bulk toner; 
polycarbonate resin; and tri-aryl amine (duty rates range from 3.7% to 
6.5%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the
