Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 8, 2010 / Notices
Development Corporation (LVEDC),
grantee of FTZ 272, requesting special–
purpose subzone status for the
inhalation anesthetics manufacturing
facilities of Piramal Critical Care, Inc.
(Piramal), located in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania. 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 August 31,
2010.
The Piramal facilities (95 employees,
445 metric ton capacity) consist of 2
sites on 4.3 acres: Site 1 (4.0 acres) is
located at 3950 Sheldon Circle,
Bethlehem; and Site 2 (0.3 acres) is
located at 2550 Brodhead Road,
Bethlehem. The facilities are used for
the manufacture and distribution of
inhalation anesthetics Sevoflurane and
Isoflurane. Components and materials
sourced from abroad (representing 23%
of the value of the finished product)
include: Hexafluoroisopropyl Methyl
Ether (HFMOP) and Trifluoroethanol
(TFE) (duty rate of 5.5%). The
application also requests authority to
include a limited secondary scope of
inputs and finished pharmaceutical
products that Piramal may produce
under FTZ procedures in the future.
New major activity involving these
inputs/products would require review
by the FTZ Board.
FTZ procedures could exempt
Piramal from customs duty payments on
the foreign components used in export
production. The company anticipates
that some 40 percent of the plant’s
shipments will be exported. On its
domestic sales, Piramal would be able to
choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that apply to
Sevoflurane and Isoflurane (duty free)
for the foreign inputs noted above. FTZ
designation would further allow Piramal
to realize logistical benefits through the
use of weekly customs entry procedures.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment. The request
indicates that the savings from FTZ
procedures would help improve the
plant’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Maureen Hinman of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations 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 November 8, 2010.

material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to November
22, 2010.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign–Trade Zones Board, Room
2111, U.S. Department of Commerce,
