notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facility in Goodyear, Arizona. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on January 23, 2020.
    The Andersen Regional facility is located within FTZ 277. The 
facility will be used for production of windows for residential and 
commercial buildings. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components and 
finished product described in the submitted notification (as described 
below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Andersen Regional from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
materials/components noted below, Andersen Regional would be able to 
choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to 
windows for residential and commercial buildings (duty rate 5.3%). 
Andersen Regional 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.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Stainless 
steel and carbon steel screws; die cast zinc and injection molded 
polypropylene lock covers; aluminum extruded reinforcement bars; carbon 
steel gusset plates; stainless steel jamb clips; injection molded PVC 
and brass roller assemblies; injection molded glass reinforced nylon 
sash cams; injection molded polypropylene shipping protection caps; 
and, zinc plated steel washers (duty rate ranges from 3.5 to 6.2%). The 
request indicates that certain materials/components are subject to 
special duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 
301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301 
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in 
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is March 30, 2020.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
