Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 189--Kent/Ottawa/Muskegon Counties, 
Michigan; Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Adient US LLC; 
Subzone 189D (Motorized Seat Adjusters for Motor Vehicles); Holland and 
Zeeland, Michigan

    Adient US LLC (Adient), owned by Johnson Controls, Inc., submitted 
a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facilities within FTZ 189D, at sites in Holland and Zeeland, Michigan. 
The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of 
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 13, 2016.
    The facilities are used for the production of motorized seat 
adjusters for motor vehicles. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status components and 
specific finished product described in the submitted notification (as 
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Adient from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Adient would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to motorized 
seat adjusters (duty free) for the foreign-status electric seat 
adjuster motors (duty rate--2.8%). 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 September 6, 
2016.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board,
