Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 277--Western Maricopa County, Arizona; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; CornellCookson, Inc. 
(Rolling Steel Doors); Goodyear, Arizona

    Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 277, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board on behalf of CornellCookson, Inc. (CornellCookson) for its 
facility in Goodyear, Arizona within FTZ 277. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on July 19, 2017.
    CornellCookson already has authority to produce rolling steel doors 
within Site 11 of FTZ 277. The current request would add foreign status 
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 submitted notification (as 
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt CornellCookson from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status components 
noted below, CornellCookson would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to rolling steel doors (duty 
free). Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign-status production equipment.
    The components sourced from abroad include: Steel chains and parts; 
release pins; motor mounting kits; chain sprockets; centrifugal 
switches; electrical rectifiers and power supplies; alarm speakers; 
electrical motor overload protectors; electrical switches; electrical 
control panels (less than 1,000 volts); electrical cables and 
conductors; AC motor heaters; and, AC motor encoders (duty rate ranges 
from duty-free to 5.7%).
    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 October 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 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
