capacity) is located at 3322 Road ‘‘N’’ 

NE, Moses Lake, Washington. The 

facility is used for the manufacturing 

and warehousing of solar grade 

polysilicon and silane gas using 

domestic and imported silicon metal 

(duty rate ranges from 5.3–5.5%). 

Pursuant to Section 400.33 of the 

Board’s regulations, any silicon metal 

subject to antidumping or 

countervailing duties would be required 

to be admitted to the subzone in 

privileged foreign status (19 CFR 

146.41). 

FTZ procedures could exempt REC 

Silicon from customs duty payments on 

the silicon metal used in export 

production. The company anticipates 

that over 95% of polysilicon and 90% 

of silane gas shipped from the plant will 

be exported. On its domestic sales, REC 

Silicon would be able to choose the 

duty rates during customs entry 

procedures that apply to polysilicon and 

silane gas (duty rate ranges from duty– 

free to 3.7%) for the foreign inputs 

noted above. FTZ designation would 

further allow REC Silicon to realize 

logistical benefits through the use of 

weekly customs entry procedures. 

Customs duties also could possibly be 

deferred or reduced on foreign status 

production equipment. The request 

indicates that the savings from FTZ 

procedures would help improve the 

plant’s international competitiveness. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the 

FTZ Staff is designated examiner to 

investigate the application and report to 

the Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original
