Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 127--West Columbia, South Carolina; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Isola USA Corporation 
(Dielectric Prepreg and Copper-Clad Laminate); Ridgeway, South Carolina

    The Richland-Lexington Airport District, Columbia Metropolitan 
Airport, grantee of FTZ 127, submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Isola USA Corporation 
(Isola) located in Ridgeway, South Carolina. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on March 17, 2015.
    The Isola facility is located within Site 4 of FTZ 127. The 
facility is used to produce customized dielectric prepreg and copper-
clad laminate sheets used by its customers to fabricate multilayer 
printed circuit boards. 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 Isola from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status material used in export production. 
On its domestic sales, Isola would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to customized dielectric 
prepreg and copper-clad laminate sheets (duty rates--4.2% and 3%, 
respectively) for foreign-status electrical grade woven fiberglass 
rolls and bonding prepreg (duty rates--7.3% and 4.2%, respectively). 
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 FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is May 13, 2015.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
