of Proposed Production Activity; CoLinx, LLC (Bearing Units);

    The Industrial Development Board of Blount County and the Cities of 
Alcoa and Maryville, Tennessee, grantee of FTZ 148, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf 
of CoLinx, LLC (CoLinx), located in Crossville, Tennessee. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on April 29, 2015.
    The CoLinx facilities are located within Sites 2, 6 and 7 of FTZ 
148. The facilities are used for the distribution and assembly of kits 
of bearing products. 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

production. On its domestic sales, CoLinx would be able to choose the 
duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to: Mounted unit 
roller assemblies (housed, spherical roller bearing units); and, 
mounted unit ball assemblies (housed ball bearing units) (duty rate 
4.5%) 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: Mineral 
oil based, lithium soap thickened bearing grease; double row insert 
bearings (spherical rollers), nitrile rubber contact lip seals with 
spring-loaded lips; and, plastic end caps for bearing housings (duty 
rate ranges from 2.5% to 1.3[cent]/kg + 5.7%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is June 17, 2015.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection
