Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 64--Jacksonville, Florida; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Hans-Mill Corporation; Subzone 64D; 
(Household Trash Cans and Plastic Storage Totes); Jacksonville, Florida

    Hans-Mill Corporation (Hans-Mill), operator of Subzone 64D, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board for its facility within Subzone 64D, in Jacksonville, Florida. 
The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of 
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 10, 2017.
    The facility is used for the production of household trash cans and 
plastic storage totes. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/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 Hans-Mill from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production (an estimated five percent of shipments). On its domestic 
sales, Hans-Mill would be able to choose the duty rates during customs 
entry procedures that apply to stainless steel/plastic trash cans and 
plastic storage totes, trash cans and liners (duty rates--2 or 3%) 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 pre-cut/pre-
treated stainless steel sheets, plastic lids, plastic bases, pulp 
packaging material and polypropylene resin material (duty rates range 
from free to 6.5%). The request indicates that stainless steel sheets 
are subject to an antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order. The 
FTZ Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.14(e)) require that merchandise 
subject to AD/CVD orders be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign 
status (19 CFR 146.41).
    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 July 12, 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.
    For further information, contact Diane Finver at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1367.

    Dated: May 26, 2017.
Elizabeth Whiteman,
Acting Executive Secretary.
