activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Branchburg, New Jersey, 
within FTZ 44. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on December 
19, 2016.
    A separate application for subzone designation at the AGFA facility 
has been submitted and is being processed under Section 400.31 of the 
FTZ Board's regulations (S-152-2016). The facility is used for the 
production of aluminum digital printing plates used in the commercial 
printing industry. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status component 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 AGFA from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status components used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, AGFA would be able to choose the duty rate during 
customs entry procedures that applies to aluminum digital printing 
plates (duty free) for foreign-status aluminum coils (duty rate 3%). 
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 February 21, 
2017.
