Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 99— 

Wilmington, Delaware; Notification of 

Proposed Production Activity; Bloom 

Energy Corporation; (Commercial Fuel 

Cells and Related Subassemblies); 

Newark, Delaware 

The Delaware Department of State, 

grantee of FTZ 99, submitted a 

notification of proposed production 

activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of 

Bloom Energy Corporation (Bloom), 

located at sites in Newark, Delaware. 

The notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on December 4, 2018. 

The Bloom facilities are located 

within Subzone 99I. The facilities are 

used for the production of commercial 

fuel cells and related subassemblies. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ 

activity would be limited to the specific 

foreign-status materials and 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 Bloom from customs duty 

payments on the foreign-status 

components used in export production. 

On its domestic sales, for the foreignstatus materials/components noted 

below, Bloom would be able to choose 

the duty rates during customs entry 

procedures that apply to: Piping 

manifolds; water distribution modules; 

fuel processing units; fuel cell power 

modules (DC generator); nickel iron 

alloy fuel cell power module enclosures 

(housings); power inverters; and, energy 

storage and distribution modules (duty 

rates range from duty free to 3.8%). 

Bloom 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 components and materials 

sourced from abroad include: Glass 

powder; ceramic substrates; plastic 

labels; plastic containers with sleeves; 

plastic enclosure bags; plastic cable ties; 

rubber grommets; adhesives; cardboard 

boxes; textile paper filters; zirconia 

alumina shaping stones; ceramic heat 

plating; glass fiber insulation jackets; 

nickel alloy wire probes; alloy steel 

adapters; stainless steel tubing; stainless 

steel coated tubing; stainless steel 

spacers; stainless steel pipes; stainless 

steel flanges; stainless steel pipe 

fixtures; stainless steel clamps; stainless 

steel screws; stainless steel washers; 

stainless steel cable; stainless steel 

spacers; nickel plates; nickel mesh; 

chromium alloy powder; iron and steel 

flexible tubing with fittings; cooling 

fans; prototype compressors; axial fan 

motors; fan cable connectors; fan mount 

rubber gaskets; aluminum plate-fin heat 

exchangers; heat exchange units; water 

filtering machinery; stainless steel 

weldments; filtering equipment; gas 

filtering canisters; gas filtering canister 

brackets; hoists; aluminum screens with 

frames; stainless steel valves; solenoid 

valves; inlet/outlet manifolds; housing 

units for fuel cells; iron/nickel alloy and 

ceramic fuel cell dielectrics; dielectric 

transformers for inverters; transformers 

1kVA power handling capacity; power 

inverters; fuel cell control units; rectifier 

and static converter power cards; 

rectifier and static converter circuit 

boards; rectifier and static converter 

mounting brackets; mixed alloy rectifier 

and static converter casings; static 

converters; holding magnets; electric 

capacitors; electric capacitor caps; 

programmable controllers; printed 

circuit boards; electrical contactors; 

electrical terminators; electrical fuses; 

printed circuit boards; contactors; 

electrical controller backplanes and 

handles; multimodal switchboard 

antennas; multimodal switchboard 

mounting switches; internal frames for 

multimodal switchboards; electrical 

controllers; diodes; cables for telemetry 

equipment; electrical conductors fitted 

with connectors; electrical conductors 

for telecommunication; copper electrical 

conductors; cables with fitted 

connectors; plastic insulating fittings; 

thermocouples; probe wires; electrical 

thermocouple assemblies; thermocouple 

assembly terminals; gas flow meters; 

transducers; electricity meters; 

programmable load boxes; fuel cell 

output (harmonics, temperature and 

luminosity) measuring devices; mass 

flow controllers; power conditioning 

systems regulating power control in fuel 

cell; mixed alloy interconnecting plates; 

and, chromium iron interconnect plates 

(duty rates range from duty-free to 

8.5%). The request indicates that textile 

paper filters will be admitted to the 

zone in privileged foreign status (19 

CFR 146.41), thereby precluding 

inverted tariff benefits on such items. 

The request also indicates that certain 

materials/components are subject to 

special duties under Section 232 of the 

Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 

232) and Section 301 of the Trade Act 

of 1974 (Section 301), depending on the 

country of origin. The applicable 

Section 232 and Section 301 decisions 

require subject merchandise to be 

admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign 

status (19 CFR 146.41). 

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 

January 28, 2019. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW,
