Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 23--Erie County, New York; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Cummins, Inc.; (Diesel and Gas 
Engines); Lakewood and Jamestown, New York

    The Erie County Industrial Development Agency, grantee of FTZ 23, 
submitted a notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ 
Board on behalf of Cummins, Inc. (Cummins), located within Subzone 23D 
in Lakewood and Jamestown, New York. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on August 28, 2017.
    The Cummins facility is used for the production of diesel and gas 
engines. 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 Cummins from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status materials/
components noted below, Cummins would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to: Automotive diesel and 
natural gas engines; industrial diesel engines; stationary generator 
diesel engines; and, recreational marine diesel engines (duty free to 
2.5%). Cummins would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status components 
which become scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly be 
deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: 
Accumulators; adapters (air inlet/filter head/hydraulic pump/spline); 
cylinder blocks; steel and iron braces (bracket/fuel pump/gear housing/
tube); brackets (belt tensioner/breather/electronic control module/
lifting/shipping/transfer pump); main bearing caps; steel injector 
clamps; ignition coils; exhaust collars;

connections (air intake/exhaust transfer/fuel block/turbo oil drain/
water inlet/water outlet/water transfer/injector fuel supply); 
electronic control coolers; oil coolers; covers (access hole/hand hole/
rocker lever/starter flange); valve crossheads; viscous vibration 
dampers; steel and rubber gaskets (accessory drive support//carrier/
cover plate/cylinder head/gear housing/oil pan/oil transfer connection/
thermostat housing); gears (camshaft/flywheel ring/hydraulic pump/
idler); electronic control module wiring harnesses; wiring harnesses; 
corrosion resistor heads; fuel filter heads; lubricating oil filter 
heads; intake air heaters; silicone rubber hump hoses; silicone rubber 
hoses; housings (flywheel/gear/oil cooler/rocker lever/thermostat/
thermostat top level assembly); levers (cam follower/rocker/rocker top 
level assembly); adjusting links; air manifolds; exhaust manifolds; 
fuel drain manifolds; ignition control modules; oil pans; steel air 
inlet pipes; exhaust outlet pipes; plates (clamping/cooler/cover); 
flanged o-ring plugs; threaded plugs; pulleys (accessory drive/
alternator/crankshaft/idler); pumps (fuel transfer/lubricating oil/
water); injector fuel support connector retainers; engine connecting 
rods; push rods; valve rotators; rubber corrosion resistor seals; 
rubber seals (flywheel housing/front cover/gear housing/oil cooler 
housing/oil filter head/rocker level housing); sensors (engine speed/
humidity/position); shafts (gar accessory drive/cam follower/idler/
rocker lever); steel injector sleeves; aluminum/steel/nylon spacers; 
cylinder block stiffeners; steel/aluminum/cast iron supports 
(accessory/air compressor/alternator/breather/camshaft/exhaust/
recirculation cooler/front engine/fuel pump/rocker lever/thermostat 
housing); temperature switches; steel tubes (compressor air inlet/
injector fuel supply/lubricating oil suction/oil gauge/vent); 
turbocharger; solenoid valves; and, aluminum exhaust gas recirculation 
venturi (duty rates range from free to 4.7%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address
