In May 2003, the Board filed an application from the City of Battle Creek, Michigan, grantee of FTZ 43, requesting special–purpose subzone status with certain manufacturing authority for Perrigo. The subzone application was approved by the Board on April 13, 2004 (Board Order 1326, 69 FR 21498, 4/21/04), including the manufacture under FTZ procedures of certain OTC pharmaceutical products containing ibuprofen, aspirin and acetaminophen. Specific to ibuprofen, Perrigo produces finished ibuprofen mixture and finished ibuprofen products (HTSUS headings 3003 and 3004, duty–free) using foreign–sourced active ingredient ibuprofen (HTSUS 2916.39.15, 6.5% duty rate). On products shipped to the U.S. market, the company is able to choose the duty rate during Customs entry procedures that applies to the finished ibuprofen mixture and products (duty–free) for the otherwise dutiable foreign active ingredient (6.5% duty rate) noted above (inverted tariff), as described in the application. Perrigo has now notified the Board of additional sourcing of foreign active ingredient ibuprofen that it may manufacture into OTC ibuprofen products under zone procedures. In its original application, Perrigo had projected approximately $450,000 (90 percent of its total FTZ savings) in annual inverted tariff savings for its OTC ibuprofen, acetaminophen and aspirin production. Perrigo’s sourcing– change submission now projects up to an additional $1.55 million in inverted tariff savings tied to the sourcing change for its OTC ibuprofen products. In accordance with the Board’s regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been designated examiner to investigate the sourcing change, including its potential to cause ‘‘significant adverse effects’’ (15 CFR 400.28(a)(3)(iii)(A)), and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Information submitted for the record generally should be in a non–proprietary format. If there is a need to submit business proprietary information, it should be appropriately marked and summarized or ranged (in the case of numerical data) in the public submission, which should be accompanied by a single business proprietary version. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board’s Executive Secretary at the address below.

Leiner is a manufacturer of store–brand vitamin, mineral and nutritional supplements (VMS) and over–thecounter (OTC) pharmaceutical products. The application was submitted pursuant to 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 March 2, 2007. The proposed subzone (1 building of 620,000 square feet of enclosed space on 27 acres) is located at 355 Crestmont Drive, in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The Leiner plant (600 permanent employees and 100–200 seasonal employees) manufactures, packages, and warehouses both solid–dose VMS and OTC pharmaceutical products. Initially, Leiner is proposing to manufacture ibuprofen products under zone procedures at the plant. At the outset, inverted tariff zone savings will result from the production of finished VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:24 Mar 08, 2007 Jkt 211001 ibuprofen mixture (HTSUS 3003.90, duty–free) and finished ibuprofen products (HTSUS 3004.90, duty–free; up to 2.5 billion pills per year) using foreign–sourced active ingredient ibuprofen (HTSUS 2916.39, 6.5% duty rate). The application also indicates the possibility of producing bulk acetaminophen mixture (HTSUS 3003.90, duty–free) and finished acetaminophen products (HTSUS 3004.90, duty–free), which the company may produce at the plant in the future, using foreign–sourced active ingredient acetaminophen (HTSUS 2924.29, 6.5% duty rate). (New major activity for this product would require review by the FTZ Board.) Leiner also plans to admit other foreign inputs under FTZ procedures, but will make customs entry before manufacture into products at the Fort Mill facility or before distribution to other Leiner U.S. manufacturing facilities. For Leiner’s ibuprofen–related production, zone procedures would exempt the company from Customs duty payments on foreign materials used in production for export. On domestic shipments, the company would be able to choose the duty rate during Customs entry procedures that applies to finished ibuprofen mixture and products (duty– free) for the otherwise dutiable foreign active ingredient inputs (6.5% duty rate) noted above (inverted tariff). Leiner would also obtain duty deferral savings and be able to avoid duty on foreign inputs which become scrap/ waste (approximately 5% scrap and waste rate). Additionally, Leiner may realize logistical/procedural and other benefits from subzone status. The application projects up to $642,000 in total FTZ savings (some 65% of which are tied to the inverted tariff on ibuprofen), which it indicates would help improve the international competitiveness of Leiner’s Fort Mill plant.In accordance with the Board’s regulations, a member of the FTZ staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board. Public comment is invited from interested parties. Information submitted for the record generally should be in a non–proprietary format.
