Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 293--Limon, Colorado; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Laser Galicia America LLC (Bending and 
Assembly of Trafo Wall); Aurora, Colorado

    The Town of Limon, Colorado, grantee of FTZ 293, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of Laser Galicia America LLC (Laser Galicia), located in Aurora, 
Colorado. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on April 6, 
2018.
    The applicant indicates that it will be submitting a separate 
application for FTZ usage-driven designation at the Laser Galicia 
facility within FTZ 293. The facility is used for the bending and 
assembly of trafo wall. 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 Laser Galicia 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, Laser Galicia would be able to choose the duty 
rate during customs entry procedures that apply to front section trafo 
wall, top section trafo wall, and left section trafo wall (duty rate--
3.0%). Laser Galicia would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status 
components which become scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly 
be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.

plate (galvanized steel thickness 10 mm); bracket for lubrication 
system--unfolded (stainless steel thickness 3 mm); frame assembly--
