Pursuant to the regulations of the

Board), a review has been initiated
(under 15 CFR Sec. 400.28(a)(3)(iii)(A))
of changes in sourcing related to certain
packaging products at Foreign–Trade
Subzone 7M, at the facility of Amgen
VerDate Nov<24>2008

Jkt 217001
Manufacturing Limited (Amgen), in
Juncos, Puerto Rico.
Subzone 7M was approved by the
Board on December 11, 2008 (Board
Order 1597, 73 FR 78290–78291, 12/22/
08), for the manufacturing and
distribution of biotechnology and
healthcare products under FTZ
procedures. 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.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman is
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. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is April
13, 2009. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
April 27, 2009.
A copy of the sourcing change
notification will be available for public
inspection at the Office of the Executive
Secretary, Foreign–Trade Zones Board,
Room 2111, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue,

Refined Brown Aluminum Oxide from
the People’s Republic of China: Notice
of Continuation of Antidumping Duty
Order
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (the Department) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty
order on refined brown aluminum oxide
(RBAO) from the People’s Republic of
China (PRC) would be likely to lead to
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and of material injury to an industry in
the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time, the Department is
publishing notice of the continuation of
this antidumping duty order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 13, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Brandon Farlander, AD/CVD

482–0182, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 1, 2008, the Department
initiated and the ITC instituted a sunset
review of the antidumping duty order
on RBAO from the PRC, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act). See Initiation of
Five-year (‘‘Sunset’’) Reviews 73 FR
57055 (October 1, 2008).
The Department conducted an
expedited sunset review of this order.
As a result of its review, the Department
found that revocation of the
antidumping duty order would be likely
to lead to continuation or recurrence of
dumping and notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins likely to
prevail were the order to be revoked.
