Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 21--Charleston, South Carolina; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; AGRU America Charleston, 
LLC; (High Density Polyethylene Pipe); North Charleston, South Carolina

    AGRU America Charleston, LLC (AGRU America) submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facility in North Charleston, South Carolina. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on March 5, 2018.
    AGRU America already has authority to produce high density 
polyethylene (HDPE) pipe within Site 5 of FTZ 21. The current request 
would add four foreign status materials/components to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components 
described in the submitted notification (as described below) and 
subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt AGRU America from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
materials/components noted below, AGRU America would be able to choose 
the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to HDPE 
pipe. AGRU America 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 materials/components sourced from abroad include: Plastic pipe 
fittings; steel flanges; threaded steel bolts of more than six mm 
diameter; and, vulcanized rubber gaskets, washers, and seals (duty rate 
ranges from duty-free to 5.5%).
    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 April 23, 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.
    For further information, contact Juanita Chen at 
juanita.chen@trade.gov or 202-482-1378.

    Dated: March 6, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
