Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 141--Monroe County, New York; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity, Xerox Corporation, 
Subzone 141B (Xerographic Bulk Toner and Toner Cartridges), 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 17, 
2017.
    Xerox already has authority to produce copiers/printers and certain 
components, xerographic bulk toner, toner cartridges and photoreceptors 
within Subzone 141B. The current request would add foreign-status 
materials/components to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 
400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific 
foreign-status materials/components described in the

[[Page 16026]]

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 copiers/
printers and certain components, xerographic bulk toner, toner 
cartridges and photoreceptors (duty rates range from duty-free to 6.5%) 
for the foreign-status materials/components noted below. Customs duties 
also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production 
equipment.
    The materials/components sourced from abroad include particulate 
zinc stearate and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (duty rates, 4.6% and 
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 May 10, 2017.
    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.
