DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Economic Development Administration 

Notice of Petitions by Firms for 

Determination of Eligibility To Apply 

for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

AGENCY: Economic Development 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice and opportunity for 

public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Economic Development 

Administration (EDA) has received 

petitions for certification of eligibility to 

apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance 

from the firms listed below. 

Accordingly, EDA has initiated 

investigations to determine whether 

increased imports into the United States 

of articles like or directly competitive 

with those produced by each of the 

firms contributed importantly to the 

total or partial separation of the firms’ 

workers, or threat thereof, and to a 

decrease in sales or production of each 

petitioning firm.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–03–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 40— 

Cleveland, Ohio; Notification of 

Proposed Production Activity; 

Swagelok Company (Valve Component 

Parts); Solon, Willoughby Hills, 

Highland Heights, and Strongsville, 

Ohio 

The Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 40, submitted 

a notification of proposed production 

activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of 

Swagelok Company (Swagelok) located 

in Solon, Willoughby Hills, Highland 

Heights, and Strongsville, Ohio. The 

notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on December 26, 2017. 

The Swagelok facilities are located 

within Subzone 40I. The facilities are 

used for production of industrial 

fittings, finished valves, pressure 

reducing valves, and regulators. 

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 Swagelok from customs 

duty payments on the foreign-status 

components used in export production 

(estimated at 13 percent of production). 

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

below, Swagelok would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to: High 

pressure reinforced plastic hoses; teflon 

tubing; plastic tubing with fittings; 

polytetrafluoroethylene and plastic 

hoses; plastic and nylon fittings and 

nuts; plastic and teflon ferrules; rubber 

hoses with and without fittings; rubber 

hoses with fittings reinforced or 

otherwise combined with textile 

materials; non-alloy steel seamless 

tubing; stainless steel tubing; welded 

stainless steel tubing; stainless steel 

flanges; straight or shaped stainless steel 

fittings; stainless steel butt-weld fittings; 

threaded, unthreaded, and welded-ends

of alloy steel not including stainless; 

straight or shaped steel fittings; steel 

butt-welded fittings; steel adapter 

fittings without threads; brass tubes 

used in brass valve assemblies; brass 

fittings used in brass valve assemblies; 

brass fitting ferrules; nuts and ferrule 

sets used in brass fittings; nickelchromium alloy tubing; nickel alloy 

fittings; aluminum ferrules, nuts, and 

ferrule kits; stainless steel flexible metal 

tubing; steel flexible tubing with 

fittings; pressure reducing valves; 

hydraulic solenoid valves; check valves; 

relief valves, and diaphragm valves 

(duty rate ranges from duty-free to 

6.2%). Swagelok 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: Plastic 

caps used for component protection in 

shipping; teflon O-rings for valve 

connections; rubber gaskets and O-rings 

to prevent leakage; rubber gripper pads; 

rubber grommets; rubber bands used in 

valve applications; grafoil packing; 

replacement safety glass for pressure 

gauge lenses; glass face plates for 

gauges; forged non-alloy steel bars;
