Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 41--Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity, Quad/Graphics, Inc.--Chemical 
Research\Technology, (Offset and Gravure Publication Printing Ink), 
Hartford and Sussex, Wisconsin

    The Port of Milwaukee, grantee of FTZ 41, submitted a notification 
of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Quad/
Graphics, Inc.--Chemical Research\Technology (Quad/Graphics--C\RT), 
located in Hartford and Sussex, Wisconsin. The notification conforming 
to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) 
was received on December 5, 2017.
    The applicant indicates that it has submitted a separate 
application for FTZ designation at the Quad/Graphics--C\RT facility 
under FTZ 41. The facility is used for the production of offset and 
gravure publication printing ink. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 
activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and 
components and specific finished product described in the submitted 
notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the 
FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Quad/Graphics--C\RT 
from customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
materials noted below, Quad/Graphics--C\RT would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to offset and 
gravure publication printing ink (duty rate--1.8%). Quad/Graphics--C\RT 
would be able to avoid duty on foreign-status materials which become 
scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced 
on foreign-status production equipment.
    The materials sourced from abroad include: offset pigments (Yellow 
174, Red 57:1 and Blue 15:3); gravure pigments (Yellow 14, Yellow 12, 
Red 57:1 and Blue 15:4); and, flush pigment preparations for offset 
heat-set publication printing (Yellow 12, Red 57:1 and Blue 15:3) (duty 
rate--6.5%).
    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 February 20, 2018.
    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 website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
