Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 41--Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity; Generac Power Systems, Inc.; (Outdoor 
Power, Pumps, and Lawn and Garden Equipment); Jefferson and Whitewater, 
Wisconsin

    Generac Power Systems, Inc. (Generac) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facilities in 
Jefferson and Whitewater, Wisconsin. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on August 6, 2018.
    Generac already has authority to produce generators, pressure 
washers, engines and related components within Subzone 41J. The current 
request would add finished products and 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 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 Generac 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 and in the existing scope of authority, Generac 
would be able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures 
that apply to burn cages (for yard debris); steel hot air distributors; 
firewood racks; earth boring tools; diaphragm pumps; reciprocating 
positive displacement pumps; rotary positive displacement pumps; 
centrifugal pumps; single stage pumps with discharge outlet; leaf 
blowers; electric power graders; trenchers; backhoes; snow blower

saws; electric trimmers; electric fence trimmers; earth augers; gas 
power trimmers; portable outdoor heaters; transfer switch panels; self-
propelled wheelbarrows; light towers; and, power brush attachments 
(duty rates range from duty free to 6%). Generac 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: Wash 
preparations/agents; cleaning preparations/agents; monofilament trimmer 
cord; polyurethane foam insulation; plastic covers for outdoor 
equipment; plastic handles/knobs; plastic washers; plastic shrouds for 
generators; molded plastic buckets; molded rubber housings/bushings; 
inner tubes; plywood packaging cases or boxes for shipping; rough cut

pumps with discharge outlet; winches; jacks; electric power graders; 
snow blower attachments; jack housings; winch housings; pallet jack 
lifters; powered pallet jack levers; manual pallet jack beds; backhoe 
shovels; backhoe arms; snow blower chutes; plow shoes; gravel scrapers; 
self-propelled mowers, gas powered; brush trimmer wheels; brush trimmer 
housings; mower handles; wood splitter bases; multi-sharpeners; wood 
chipper heads; wood chipper cast-iron housings; saw guides; wood 
splitter engine mounts; chain saw housings; gas trimmer shafts; trimmer 
handles; control or adapter units; transmission shafts- rotor shafts; 
housed bearings incorporating ball bearings; AC alternators 375-750 kw; 
AC alternators exceeding 750 kw; ballasts; battery chargers; power 
plugs; bridge rectifiers; inverters; power supplies; power supply 
housings; flexible magnets composite; un-magnetized magnets composite; 
sealed lead acid batteries; nickel-cadmium sealed batteries; lead acid 
batteries; lithium-ion batteries; battery housings; leaf vacuum bases; 
distributors; light reflectors; transmitters/receivers; transmitter 
cases; fixed resistors; fuse holders/circuit protecting; junction 
boxes; switch circuit boxes; lamps; lamp bulbs; metal halide lamp 
bulbs; indicator lights; electric synchros/transducers; electrical

benefits on such items. The request indicates that iron ductile

which would be otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation under AD/
CVD procedures if they entered U.S. customs territory, be admitted to

indicates that certain materials/components may be subject to special 
duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, if imported from 
China. The determination of Section 301 duties requires that such 
merchandise be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign status (19 
CFR 146.41).

shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address 
below. The closing period for their receipt is October 1, 2018.
