    United Safety Technology Corp submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in 
Sparrows Point, Maryland, within Subzone 74D. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 
400.22) was received on December 8, 2022.
    Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and 
specific finished product(s) described in the submitted notification 
(summarized below) and subsequently authorized by the Board. The 
benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ 
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's 
website--accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    The proposed finished products include seamless gloves, surgical 
gloves and examination gloves (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 3%).
    The proposed foreign-status materials and components include: 
Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR): Latex; Potassium hydroxide; Calcium 
Nitrate; Nitric Acid; Zinc Oxide; Chlorine; Sodium Hypochlorite; 
Hydrochloric Acid; Caustic Soda; Polydimethylsiloxane emulsion; 
Paraffin Wax; Sulphur Dispersion; Zinc dibuthyl dithiocarbamate (ZDBC)

(15 CFR 400.14(e)) require that merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders, 
or items which would be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation 
under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be

The request also indicates that certain materials/components are 
subject to duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section

decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in PF 
status.
