Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 80, Notification of Proposed Production 
Activity; Senior Operation LLC; (Expansion Joints and Clamshell 
Bellows); New Braunfels, Texas

    Senior Operation LLC submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facility in 
New Braunfels, Texas within FTZ 80. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on 
June 28, 2024.
    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: metal expansion joints 
(stainless and carbon steel) and clamshell bellows (stainless and alloy 
steel) (duty rate ranges from duty-free to 5.5%).
    The proposed foreign-status materials/components include: flat 
rolled stainless steel (width of 6.35 mm to 50.8 mm) and cold-rolled 
stainless-steel coils (width of 1.62 mm to 4.554 mm) (duty-free). The 
request indicates that the materials/components are 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). The Board's regulations (15 CFR

items which would be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation 
under AD/CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be 
admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status.
