Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 52--Suffolk County, New York; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Estee Lauder Inc., (Hair 
Straightening Styling Balm), Melville, New York

    Estee Lauder Inc. (Estee Lauder) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facilities in 
Melville, New York within FTZ 52. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on November 2, 2017.
    Estee Lauder already has authority to manufacture and distribute 
skin care, fragrance, and cosmetic products within FTZ 52. The current 
request would add a finished product (hair straightening styling balm) 
to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ 
authority would be limited to the finished product described in the 
submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized 
by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Estee Lauder from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, for foreign-status 
materials/components in the existing scope of authority, Estee Lauder 
would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures 
that applies to hair straightening styling balm (duty-free). Estee 
Lauder 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.
    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 December 27, 2017.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Juanita Chen at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1378.

    Dated: November 13, 2017.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
