60-day notice

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 28, 2011 / Notices
The members will also receive a
briefing on recent Cyber attacks and the
potential threat of an electromagnetic
pulse attack. Both will include lessons
learned and potential vulnerabilities of
infrastructure assets, as well as potential
methods to improve the Federal
response to a cyber or electromagnetic
pulse attack. Disclosure of this
information would be a road map to
those who wish to attack our
infrastructure, and hence, would
certainly frustrate the successful
implementation of preventive and
counter measures to protect our cyber
and physical infrastructure. Therefore,
this portion of the meeting is required
to be closed under U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
Accordingly, this meeting will be closed
to the public.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Notice of Issuance of Final
Determination Concerning LaserBased Multi-Function Office Machines
U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: Notice of final determination.
AGENCY:

This document provides
notice that U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) has issued a final
determination concerning the country of
origin of laser-based multi-function
office machines. Based upon the facts
presented, CBP has concluded in the
final determination that the assembly
and programming operations together
convey the essential character of the
laser-based multi-function office
machine, and it is at their assembly and
programming where the last substantial
transformation occurs. Therefore, when
the laser-based multi-function office
machines are assembled and
programmed in Mexico, the country of
origin for purposes of U.S. government
procurement is Mexico.

Regulations; laser-based multi-function
office machine
Dear Mr. Halasz:
This is in response to your correspondence
of September 13, 2011, requesting a final
determination on behalf Hewlett-Packard,
pursuant to subpart B of part 177, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
Regulations (19 C.F.R. § 177.21 et seq.).
Under the pertinent regulations, which
implement Title III of the Trade Agreements
Act of 1979, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 2511 et
seq.), CBP issues country of origin advisory
rulings and final determinations as to
whether an article is or would be a product
of a designated country or instrumentality for
the purpose of granting waivers of certain
‘‘Buy American’’ restrictions in U.S. law or
practice for products offered for sale to the
U.S. Government.
This final determination concerns the
country of origin of HP LaserJet Enterprise
500 MFP M525 (‘‘M525’’). We note that
Hewlett-Packard is a party-at-interest within
the meaning of 19 C.F.R. § 177.22(d)(1) and
is entitled to request this final determination.
FACTS:
The finished M525 is a laser-based multifunction office machine that incorporates
multiple functions, including printing,
scanning, copying and faxing.
The major component of the M525 is the
incomplete Print Engine. The complete print
engine is the central mechanism of the M525
that performs printing. The incomplete print
engine which is produced in Vietnam and is
non-functional in this form consists of a
metal frame, plastic skins, motors, controller
board (supplier provided firmware), a laser
scanning system, fuser, paper trays, cabling
paper transport rollers, miscellaneous
sensing and imaging systems.
The following assemblies are added to the
incomplete print engine in Mexico to form
the finished unit.
Formatter Board: The printer formatter is
the main controller of the printer. It consists
of a printed circuit board, industry standard
components, and customized integrated
circuits. The main function of the formatter
is to receive input data from remote devises
via different input ports, translate that data
into a format that the print engine
understands, and then send the data onto the
print engine enabling the information to be
successfully printed onto paper. The
formatter is also responsible for providing
command and control signals allowing the
engine to start, run and stop motors in a
manner that allows the paper to move from
input devices to the designated output bin of
the printer, while at the same time, putting
the printed image on the paper. The image
is constructed by the firmware that runs on
the formatter, which tells the lasers how to
place the image on the paper for proper
resolution and image quality. The formatter
operates the HP Embedded Web Server,
which allows remote PC users to view the
printer settings and make adjustments. It
creates and stores critical and printer-unique
calibration and configuration data, which
ensure that the sub-systems have consistent
measurements for paper size, page break,
