Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 265--Conroe, Texas; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Bauer Manufacturing LLC, d/b/a NEORig 
(Water Well Drilling Rigs), Conroe, Texas

    The City of Conroe, grantee of FTZ 265, submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Bauer 
Manufacturing LLC, d/b/a/NEORig (Bauer), located in Conroe, Texas. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on February 1, 2021.
    Bauer already has authority to produce pile drivers and leads, 
boring machinery, foundation construction equipment, stationary oil/gas 
drilling rigs, and related parts and assemblies within FTZ 265. The 
current request would add two finished products to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would 
be limited to the specific finished products described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Bauer from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components in the existing scope of authority, Bauer would be able to 
choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to 
water well drilling rigs, and self-propelled water well drilling rigs 
(duty-free). Bauer 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.
    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 22, 2021.
    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.
    For further information, contact Juanita Chen at 
[email protected] or 202-482-1378.

    Dated: February 2, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
