Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 134--Chattanooga, Tennessee; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity, Cormetech, Inc. 
(Selective Catalyst Reduction Catalysts), Cleveland, TN

    Cormetech, Inc. (Cormetech), an operator of FTZ 134, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facility in Cleveland, Tennessee. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on April 1, 2015.
    A separate request for subzone designation at the Cormetech 
facility is planned and will be processed under Section 400.31 of the 
FTZ Board's regulations. The facility is used for the production of 
selective catalyst reduction catalysts and related elements (logs), 
which are used for emissions reduction in power generation, industrial, 
marine and petrochemical applications. 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 Cormetech from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status materials and components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, Cormetech would be able to 
choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
selective catalyst reduction catalysts and related elements (free) for 
the foreign status inputs noted below. Customs duties also could 
possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Anatase 
titanium dioxide; glass fiber; clay; carboxyl methyl cellulose; 
polypropylene (RP chop); polyethylene oxide (PEO); ammonium 
metavanadate (AMT); hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (methocel); manganese 
acetate; vanadyl oxalate; ammonium heptamolybdate (AHM); pressing/
lubricating agents; ammonium polyvanadate; and, honeycomb ceramic 
porcelain (duty rate ranges from free to 6.5%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The

[[Page 22706]]

closing period for their receipt is June 2, 2015.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
