Notification of Proposed Production
Activity, Abbott Laboratories, Inc.,
AbbVie, Inc. (Pharmaceutical
Production), North Chicago, IL, Area
Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (Abbott) and
AbbVie, Inc. (AbbVie) submitted a
notification for expanded production
authority within Subzones 22F and 22S,
at sites located in the North Chicago and
Lake County, Illinois, area. The facilities
are used for the production of a wide
variety of pharmaceutical and
diagnostic products, medical devices
and equipment. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the Board (15 CFR 400.22)
was received on December 14, 2012.
Subzone 22F was approved by the
Board in 1992 (Board Order 611, 12/14/
1991, 57 FR 61045, 12/14/1992) and
authority was later expanded in 1999
and 2009 (Board Order 1051, 8/30/1999,
64 FR 48578, 9/7/1999 and Board Order
1654, 12/18/2009, 75 FR 340–341, 1/5/
2010). A minor boundary modification
under 15 CFR 400.38 of the Board’s
regulations was approved, effective
August 1, 2012, transferring two sites
from SZ 22F at the Abbott facilities to
AbbVie, now designated as Subzone 22S
(S–66–2012).
Abbott and Abbvie are now requesting
authority to use production inputs
sourced from abroad that include:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
Peptones and their derivatives; other
protein substances and their derivatives;
and heterocyclic compounds, aromatic
compounds, sulfanomides, and catalysts
used in discovery, research and
development (duty rates range from
3.7% to 6.5%).
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Abbott/AbbVie from
customs duty payments on the foreign
status inputs used in export production
for the additional activity proposed. On
its domestic sales, for the foreign status
inputs noted above, Abbott/AbbVie
would be able to choose the duty rates
during customs entry procedures that
apply to the following additional
pharmaceutical products that include
active ingredients, placebo, and protein
used in research and development:
Placebo products intended for clinical
trials; radioactive elements and isotopes
and compounds other than those of
subheadings 2844.10, 2844.20, and
2844.30; alloys; dispersions (including
cermets); ceramic products and
mixtures containing these elements;
isotopes or compounds; radioactive
residues; elements, isotopes and
compounds with cobalt-60 radioactivity
only; and other elements, isotopes and
compounds: Americium-241,
californium-252, curium-244, cesium137, gadolinium-153, iridium-192,
promethium-147, radium-266,
selenium-75, or ytterbium-169; peptones
and their derivatives; and other protein
substances and their derivatives (duty
free–6.4%). Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign status production equipment.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is
January 30, 2013.
A copy of the notification will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the

ACTION: Notice of final determination
and discussion of underlying biological
analysis.
AGENCY:
NMFS has evaluated the joint
resource management plan (RMP),
represented by five Hatchery and
Genetic Management Plans (HGMPs),
submitted by the Lower Elwha Klallam
Tribe and the Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife to NMFS pursuant
to the limitation on take prohibitions for
actions conducted under Limit 6 of the
ESA 4(d) Rule for salmon and steelhead
promulgated under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). The plans specify
the propagation of five species of
salmon and steelhead in the Elwha
River of Washington state. This
document serves to notify the public
that NMFS, by delegated authority from
the Secretary of Commerce, has
determined pursuant to Limit 6 of the
4(d) rule for salmon and steelhead that
implementing and enforcing the RMP
will not appreciably reduce the
likelihood of survival and recovery of
the Puget Sound Chinook salmon and
Puget Sound steelhead.
DATES: The final determination on the
take limit was made on December 10,
2012.
ADDRESSES: Written responses to the
determination should be sent to the
Salmon Management Division, 1201 NE.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ESA-Listed Species Covered in This
Notice
Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha): Threatened, Puget Sound,
naturally produced and artificially
propagated.
Steelhead (O. mykiss): Threatened,
Puget Sound, naturally produced and
artificially propagated.
Background
The plans describe hatchery
operations intended to protect five
species of salmon and steelhead (two of
them ESA-listed) during the removal of
two dams on the Elwha River, and
subsequent propagation intended to
enhance the rebuilding of those
salmonids species. Four of the plans are
submitted by the Lower Elwha Klallam
Tribe, and one by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife
(WDFW); the plans were developed
jointly by the Tribe and the WDFW.
NMFS has determined that
implementing and enforcing the RMP
will not appreciably reduce the
likelihood of survival and recovery of
ESA-listed Puget Sound Chinook
salmon or Puget Sound steelhead.
As required by § 223.203(b)(6) of the
ESA 4(d) rule, NMFS must determine
pursuant to 50 CFR 223.209 and
pursuant to the government-togovernment processes therein whether
the RMP for Elwha River basin
hatcheries would appreciably reduce
the likelihood of survival and recovery
of the Puget Sound Chinook Salmon
ESU or Puget Sound Steelhead DPS.
NMFS must take comments on how the
RMP addresses the criteria in
§ 223.203(b)(5) in making that
determination.
Discussion of the Biological Analysis
Underlying the Determination
The proposed hatchery activities
described in the RMP are intended to
conserve salmon and steelhead
populations in the Elwha River basin
during operations to remove two dams
on the Elwha River, and for a period of
time after the dams have been removed,
as the environment improves. The RMP
provides the framework through which
the Tribal and the State of Washington
can jointly manage Elwha River salmon
and steelhead hatchery, monitoring, and
evaluation activities while meeting
requirements specified under the ESA.
The proposed action covers continued
operation of the five hatchery programs
over the initial phases of fish restoration
in the Elwha River—the preservation
and recolonization phases—with
transitions between phases gauged by
