Foreign-Trade Zone 12--McAllen, TX Notification of Proposed 
Export Production Activity TST NA Trim, LLC (Fabric/Leather Lamination 
and Cutting) Hidalgo, TX

    The McAllen Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 12, submitted 
a notification of proposed production activity on behalf of TST NA 
Trim, LLC (TST), located in Hidalgo, Texas. The notification conforming 
to the requirements of the regulations of the Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on July 25, 2012.
    A separate application for subzone status at the TST facility was 
submitted and will be processed under Section 400.31 of the Board's 
regulations. Activity at the facility involves the lamination and 
cutting of automotive upholstery material for export (no shipments for 
U.S. consumption would occur). Production under FTZ procedures could 
exempt TST from customs duty payments on the foreign status upholstery 
materials used in export production (100% of shipments). Customs duties 
also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production 
equipment.
    Upholstery fabrics and material sourced from abroad include: 
laminated (polyurethane coated) polyester knit, polyester warp knit 
(pile), polyester and nylon warp knit, and leather (duty rate ranges 
from free to 17.2%).
    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 September 24, 2012.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
