DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-51-2021]


Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 84--Houston, Texas; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Schlumberger Technology Corporation, 
Reslink Product Center (Sand Screens and Related Accessories); Baytown 
and Houston, Texas

    Schlumberger Technology Corporation, Reslink Product Center (STC 
Reslink) submitted a notification of proposed production activity to 
the FTZ Board for its facilities in Baytown and Houston, Texas. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on July 1, 2021.
    STC Reslink already has authority to produce sand screens and 
related accessories within Subzone 84AA. The current request would add 
a foreign status material/component to the scope of authority. Pursuant 
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the 
specific foreign-status material/component described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt STC Reslink from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status material/component used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
material/component noted below, STC Reslink would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to sand screens 
(with or without filters), swell packers, joint adapters (bottom or 
top), and jumper tubes (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 5.0%). STC 
Reslink 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 material/component sourced from abroad is cold-rolled stainless 
steel sheet metal with punched holes (duty-free). The request indicates 
that the material/component is subject to duties under Section 232 of 
the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232) and Section 301 of the 
Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301), depending on the country of origin. 
The applicable Section 232 and 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 August 23, 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: July 7, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
