Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 183--Austin, Texas; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Flextronics America, LLC (Automatic Data 
Processing Machines); Austin, Texas

    Flextronics America, LLC (Flextronics) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Austin, Texas within Subzone 183C. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on October 9, 2015.
    Flextronics already has authority to produce automatic data 
processing machines within Subzone 183C. The current request would add 
finished products and foreign status materials/components to the scope 
of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority 
would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/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 Flextronics from 
customs duty payments on the foreign status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, Flextronics would be able 
to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that apply to: 
Video card subassemblies; CPU and video card connector subassemblies; 
external power and USB port card subassemblies; main controller board 
subassemblies; and, internal power supply subassemblies (duty-free) for 
the foreign status materials/components noted below and in the existing 
scope of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or 
reduced on foreign status production equipment.
    The materials/components sourced from abroad include: Copper alloy 
screws; and, lithium batteries (duty rate ranges from 3.0 to 3.4%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The
