Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 245--Decatur, Illinois; Notification of 
Proposed Production Activity; Thyssenkrupp Presta Danville, LLC; 
(Camshafts); Danville, Illinois

    The Economic Development Corporation of Decatur & Macon County, 
grantee of FTZ 245, submitted a notification of proposed production 
activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of Thyssenkrupp Presta Danville, 
LLC (Thyssenkrupp Presta), located in Danville, Illinois. The 
notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on February 18, 2015.
    A separate application for subzone designation at the Thyssenkrupp 
Presta facility was submitted and will be processed under Section 
400.31 of the Board's regulations. The facility is used for the 
production of camshafts for the automotive industry. 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 Thyssenkrupp Presta 
from customs duty payments on the foreign status components used in 
export production. On its domestic sales, Thyssenkrupp Presta would be 
able to choose the duty rates during customs entry procedures that 
apply to camshafts for use with spark-ignition internal combustion 
piston engines (duty rate 2.5%) for the foreign status inputs noted 
below. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on 
foreign status production equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include: Welded, 
cold-drawn steel tubes; camlobes; nosepieces; sensor rings; sprockets; 
thrust rings; cap plugs; thrust washers; end plugs; and, end caps (duty 
rate ranges from duty-free to 2.8%).
