    Black & Decker already has authority to produce power tools and

specific foreign-status materials/components and specific finished

subassemblies; bulk packed motors; lasers; and, laser detectors (duty 
rates range from free to 3.3%) 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: plastic hoses 
and couplers; steel pipe plugs; copper washers; machined pump housings; 
sink augers; grease guns; cordless crimping tools; cordless cable 
cutters; cordless caulk guns; steel thrust rings; impactors; expansion 
heads; drum covers (steel, aluminum or plastic); subassemblies--outer 
drum; inner drums (steel, aluminum or plastic); pump housing 
assemblies; purge valves; valve bodies; valve plungers; cam carriers;
