The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the Foreign–Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a– 81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on April 12, 2006. The Pfizer facilities consist of three sites on 532 acres in Terre Haute, Indiana: Site 1 (27 bldgs. on 521 acres/ 386,932 sq. ft., about half of which is devoted to Exubera manufacturing) located at 411 East Dallas Road; Site 2 (1 bldg. on 3 acres/61,952 sq. ft.) located at 1383 Aberdeen Street; and, Site 3 (1 bldg. on 8 acres/45,936 sq. ft.) located at 1650 East Industrial Drive. Site 1 is used to manufacture pharmaceutical products. Sites 2 and 3 are used for warehousing, storage and distribution activities. Pfizer employees approximately 340 employees at the sites. Pfizer is requesting authority to manufacture the drug Exubera (HTS 3004.31, duty-free) under zone procedures. Exubera is an inhaled, powdered insulin formulation used in the treatment of diabetes. Initial zone savings will come from the elimination of inverted tariffs on the following components sourced from abroad used in the production of Exubera: mannitol (HTS 2905.43, 4.6% duty rate) which is an inactive ingredient used in the manufacturing process and base aluminum foil (HTS 3921.90, 4.2% duty rate) which is used in packaging the final product in dosage form. FTZ procedures would exempt Pfizer from Customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. Some 30 percent of the plant’s initial shipments are to be exported. On its domestic sales, Pfizer would be able to choose the duty rates during Customs entry procedures that apply to the finished pharmaceutical product (duty–free) for the foreign inputs noted above. The request indicates that the savings generated from FTZ procedures would help PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20645 improve the plant’s international competitiveness. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been appointed examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at one of the following addresses: 1. Submissions Via Express/Package Delivery Services: Foreign–Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Franklin Court Building—Suite 4100W, 1099 14th St. NW., Washington, DC 20005: or 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (``The Department'') published the 
preliminary results of the administrative review and new shipper 
reviews of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from the People's 
Republic of China covering the period November 1, 2003, through
    October 31, 2004, on November 18, 2005. See Fresh Garlic from the 
People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Preliminary Results of New Shipper Reviews, 
70 FR 69942 (November 18, 2005) (``Preliminary Results'').

Extension of Time Limits for Final Results

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (``the Act''), and section 351.213(h)(1) of the Department's 
regulations, the Department shall issue the preliminary results of an 
administrative review within 245 days after the last day of the 
anniversary month of the date of publication of the antidumping duty 
order. The Act further provides that the Department shall issue the 
final results of review within 120 days after the date on which the 
notice of the preliminary results was published in the Federal 
Register. However, if the Department determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the review within this time period, section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's 
regulations allow the Department to extend the 245-day period to 365 
days and the 120-day period to 180 days.
    Furthermore, pursuant to 751(a)(2)(B)(iv) of the Act, the 
Department shall make a final determination in a new shipper review 
within 90 days after the date the preliminary determination is issued. 
However, if the Department concludes that the case is extraordinarily 
complicated, the Department may extend the 90-day period to 150 days.
    We determined that it was not practicable to complete these reviews 
by the unextended statutory deadline of March 18, 2006.\1\ Furthermore, 
the Department found that it would be extraordinarily complicated to 
complete the final results of the new shipper reviews within this time 
frame because several significant issues were raised in the briefs 
which warrant further analysis, including the ``intermediate-product 
valuation methodology,'' which we applied in the Preliminary Results, 
and the surrogate value for garlic bulbs (i.e., the intermediate 
product). Accordingly, on March 23, 2006, the Department extended these 
final results until no later than April 17, 2006. See Notice of 
Extension of Time Limit for Final Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews: Fresh Garlic from the 
People's Republic of China, 71 FR 14681 (March 23, 2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As noted in the Preliminary Results, the two new shipper 
respondents and the petitioners agreed to waive the time limits 
applicable to the new shipper reviews and to permit the Department 
to conduct the new shipper reviews concurrently with the 
administrative review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For these same reasons, the Department is further extending the 
time limit for the completion of these final results by nine days until 
no later than Wednesday, April 26, 2006, which is 159 days from the 
date on which the notice of the Preliminary Results was published.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 
751(a)(3)(A), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv), and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: April 14, 2006.
Stephen J. Claeys,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
