Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 46G--Cincinnati, Ohio, Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity, Givaudan Flavors Corporation, (Flavor 
Products), Cincinnati, Ohio

    Givaudan Flavors Corporation (Givaudan) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Cincinnati, Ohio within Subzone 46G. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on August 25, 2016.
    The Givaudan facility is used for the production of flavor 
compounds. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited 
to the specific finished products described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Givaudan from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign status components in 
the existing scope of authority, Givaudan would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to food articles 
containing sugar, other cyclanes, cyclenes and cycloterpenes, other 
cyclic hydrocarbons, acyclic terpene alcohols, butanoic acids, 
pentanoic acids, their salts and esters, citrus oil blends, aqueous 
distillates and aqueous solutions of essential oils, and terpenic by-
products of the deterpenation of essential oils (duty rate ranges from 
free to 6.4%). 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 25, 
2016.
