notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of DNP Imagingcomm America Corporation (DNP), operator of Subzone 57C, 
located in Concord, North Carolina. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on May 30, 2017.
    DNP already has authority to slit foreign jumbo rolls of thermal 
transfer ribbons, dye sublimation transfer ribbon (STR), and assemble 
STR photo printer components (including photo printer packages--printer 
cartridges and paper) within Subzone 57C. DNP's new activity would add 
foreign status coatings and lamination to semi-completed coated paper 
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 submitted notification (as described below) 
and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt DNP from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, DNP would be able to choose the duty 
rate during customs entry procedures that applies to the finished 
products in the existing scope of authority 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: Polyurethane 
composed of urethane resin, m-xylylene diisocyanate and ethyl acetate; 
catalyst for sealant and adhesive formulation; polyurethane resin; 
binding agent for polyurethane coatings; propylene film; coated wood-
free paper; chemical reaction initiators; components of printing ink; 
plastic film; chemical binders; and, resin--binder used in ink (duty 
rate ranges from free to 6.5%)
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is August 2, 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
