Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 104--Savannah, Georgia, Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity, Savannah Yacht Center Inc. (Repair of 
Yachts, Sailboats, and Boat Tenders), Savannah, Georgia

    Savannah Yacht Center Inc. (SYC) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Savannah, Georgia. The notification conforming to the requirements of 
the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on August 
17, 2021.
    The SYC facility is located within Subzone 104J. The facility will 
be used for repair and related activities involving yachts, sailboats, 
and boat tenders. 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 SYC 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, SYC would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry 
procedures that apply to yachts, sailboats, and boat tenders (duty rate 
ranges from 1.0% to 2.4%). SYC 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 may include diesel 
marine propulsion engines, components for marine propulsion engines 
(engine mounts; seal kits; thermostats; engine controls; electrical 
control boxes), and various pumps (lubricating oil; fresh water system) 
(duty rate ranges from duty free to 2.5%). The request indicates that 
certain materials/components are subject to 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 October 4, 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: August 18, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
