Chapter 35). Agency: Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). Title: National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Awards Program Application Requirements.

Average Hours per Response: 2. Burden Hours: 200. Needs and Uses: One of MBDA’s largest initiatives is the annual National Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference. The conference recognizes the role that minority entrepreneurs play in building the American economy through the creation of jobs, products and services, in addition to supporting their local communities. It includes the private, non-profit, and government sectors and provides a venue to discuss critical business issues affecting minority business as well as strategies to foster the growth and competitiveness of the minority business community. The MED Week Awards Program is a key element in the conference as it celebrates the outstanding achievements of minority entrepreneurs. MBDA has created categories of awards including Minority Construction Firm of the Year, Minority Manufacturer of the Year, Minority Retail or Service Firm of the Year, Minority Technology Firm of the Year, Minority Supplier Distributor of the Year, Advocate of the Year, Media Award, Distinguished Supplier Diversity Award, Access to Capital Award, the Ronald H. Brown Leadership Award, and the Abe Venable Award for Lifetime Achievement. Nominations for these awards are to be open to the public. MBDA must collect two kinds of information: (a) Information identifying the nominee and nominator and (b) information explaining why the nominee should be given the award. The information will be used to determine those applicants best meeting the preannounced selection criteria. Use of a nomination form standardizes and limits the information collected as part of the nomination process. This makes the competition fair and eases any burden on applicants and reviewers alike. Participation in the competition is voluntary. The awards are strictly honorary. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; Not-for-profit institutions; State, local, or tribal government; Federal government. Frequency: One-time only, on occasion, and annually. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. OMB Desk Officer: Nicholas Fraser, (202) 395–5887.

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 products (duty–free) for the otherwise dutiable foreign components (duty–free to 2.7%). Components sourced from abroad include vials, syringes, stoppers, plunger rods, partitions and dispenser packs. Amgen has now notified the Board of additional sourcing of foreign packaging components. The imported components are PVC film (duty rate 5.8%) and a plastic device to be used with a syringe in the self–injection process (duty rate, 5.3%). The use of FTZ procedures for the additional components could exempt Amgen from customs duty payments on the foreign components used in export production. The company estimates that some 48 percent of the plant’s shipments are exported. On its domestic sales, Amgen would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to the finished pharmaceutical products (duty–free) for the foreign inputs noted above. The finished pharmaceutical products remain unchanged and were included in the scope of manufacturing authority approved by the FTZ Board.
