Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 75, Notification of Proposed Production 
Activity; Lucid Motors USA, Inc.; (Lithium-Ion Batteries), Casa Grande 
and Tempe, Arizona

    Lucid Motors USA, Inc. (Lucid) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its facilities 
located in Casa Grande and Tempe, Arizona within Subzone 75N. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations 
(15 CFR 400.22) was received on May 22, 2024.
    Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and 
specific finished product(s) 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 finished 
product(s) and material(s)/component(s) 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 materials/components include: lithium-
ion battery cells and finished lithium-ion batteries (duty rate of 
3.4%). The request indicates that certain materials/components may be 
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 
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41). Lucid's original request for 
production authority (B-37-2020) sought to admit the foreign-status 
components described in this notification in PF status. This request 
would remove the PF status limitation.
    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 July 10, 2024.
    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 Kolade Osho at 
Kolade.Osho@trade.gov.

    Dated: May 28, 2024.
Elizabeth Whiteman,
Executive Secretary.
