Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 80--San Antonio, Texas; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity CGT U.S., Ltd. (Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) 
Coated Upholstery Fabric Cover Stock) New Braunfels, Texas

    CGT U.S., Ltd. (CGT) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in New Braunfels, 
Texas within Subzone 80E. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was received on 
December 8, 2021.
    Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status material described in the 
submitted notification (summarized below) and subsequently authorized 
by the Board. The benefits that may stem from conducting production 
activity under FTZ procedures are explained in the background section 
of the Board's website--accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. The proposed 
material would be added to the production authority that the Board 
previously approved for the operation, as reflected on the Board's 
website.
    The proposed foreign-status material is 100% polyester woven weft 
pile fabric--dyed (duty rate, 9.8%). The request indicates that the 
proposed material will be admitted to the zone in privileged foreign 
(PF) status (19 CFR 146.41), thereby precluding inverted tariff 
benefits on this item. The request also indicates that the material is 
subject to duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 
301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable Section 301 
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in PF 
status.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
ftz@trade.gov. The closing period for their receipt is February 7, 
2022.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Online FTZ Information System'' section of the Board's 
website.
    For further information, contact Diane Finver at 
Diane.Finver@trade.gov.

    Dated: December 22, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
