FTZ Board Considers Production Authority for Heavy Equipment, Auto Component Facilities

The Foreign-Trade Zones Board is accepting comments through June 13 on the following notifications.

- Deere & Company, operator of subzone 133D, has submitted a notification of proposed production activity for its facilities within subzone 133D in Davenport, Iowa. Deere already has authority to produce motor graders, four-wheel-drive loaders, log skidders and articulated dump trucks within subzone 133D and the current request would add construction and forestry equipment and foreign-status materials/components to the scope of authority.

- Omron Automotive Electronics Inc., an operator of FTZ 22, has submitted a notification of proposed production activity for its facility in St. Charles, Ill., which is used for the production of automotive electronic components.
