Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 39--Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Dallas Airmotive, Inc 
(Aircraft Engine Disassembly), DFW Airport, Texas

    Dallas Airmotive, Inc (DAI) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in DFW Airport, 
Texas. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on November 
20, 2017.
    The DAI facility is located within Site 1 of FTZ 39. The facility 
is used for the disassembly of aircraft engines. Pursuant to 15 CFR 
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status 
materials and 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 DAI from customs duty 
payments on the foreign-status components used in export production. On 
its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/components noted 
below, DAI would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry 
procedures that apply to: AC generators; accumulators; linear 
actuators; valve and gear adapters; airflow control regulators;
