Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 22--Chicago, Illinois; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Omron Automotive Electronics, Inc.; 
(Automotive Electronic Components); St. Charles, Illinois

    Omron Automotive Electronics, Inc. (Omron), an operator of FTZ 22, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board for its facility located in St. Charles, Illinois, within FTZ 22. 
The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of 
the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on April 14, 2016.
    The Omron facility is located within Site 41 of FTZ 22. The 
facility is used for the production of automotive electronic 
components. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ authority would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status 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 Omron from customs 
duty payments on the foreign status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Omron would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to electronic 
control units (body control, transmission, wiper system), controllers 
(fuel pump, alarm, tire pressure), electronic modules, assemblies (tire 
pressure monitoring, transmitters, electrical switches (accessory, 
power seat, power window), knobs and trim pieces, and actuators (duty 
rate ranges from free to 6.5%) for the foreign status components noted 
below. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign status production equipment.
    The materials and components sourced from abroad include: 
Resistors; actuators; housing subassemblies; adhesives; antennas; 
armatures; plastic bags; switches; bobbins; steel balls; barrels with
