Notification of Proposed Production 

Activity; Xylem Water Systems USA 

LLC, Subzone 37D (Centrifugal and 

Submersible Pumps), Auburn, New 

York 

Xylem Water Systems USA LLC 

(Xylem), operator of Subzone 37D, 

submitted a notification of proposed 

production activity to the FTZ Board for 

its facilities located in Auburn, New 

York. The notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on March 23, 2015. 

Xylem already has authority to 

produce centrifugal and submersible 

pumps and related controllers. The 

current request would add a finished 

product (pump demonstration 

cutaways) and certain foreign-status 

materials and components to the scope 

of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 

400.14(b), additional FTZ authority 

would be limited to the specific foreignstatus 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 Xylem from customs duty 

payments on the foreign status 

components used in export production. 

On its domestic sales, Xylem would be 

able to choose the duty rates during 

customs entry procedures that apply to 

centrifugal and submersible pumps 

(free), pump demonstration cutaways 

(free), and controllers (1.5%) for the 

foreign status components and materials 

noted below and in the existing scope 

of authority. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign status 

production equipment. 

The components and materials 

sourced from abroad include: strainer 

parts; shaft coupling parts; cast iron 

bases; non-asbestos gaskets; plastic 

resins; electric current filtration devices; 

polyester rope; pressure transducers; 

and, fluid sight glasses (duty rate ranges 

from free to 6.5%). 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is May 

11, 2015. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary,
