Foreign-Trade Zone Subzone 22- Chicago, IL, Temporary/Interim Manufacturing Authority, Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Pharmaceutical and Biological Product Manufacturing), Notice of Approval
On January 18, 2011, the Executive Secretary of the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board filed an application submitted by the Illinois International Port District, grantee of FTZ 22, requesting temporary/interim manufacturing (T/IM) authority, on behalf of Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Baxter) to manufacture pharmaceutical and biological intravenous (I.V.) products under FTZ procedures within FTZ 22-Site 21, in Round Lake, Illinois.
The application was processed in accordance with T/IM procedures, as authorized by FTZ Board Orders 1347 (69 FR 52857, 8/30/04) and 1480 (71 FR 55422, 9/22/06). The Baxter facility and activity in question had initially been proposed to the FTZ Board for subzone authority, including notice in the Federal Register inviting public comment (FTZ Doc. 60-2010, 75 FR 65448, 10/25/2010). To enable expedited authority for Baxter in the context of the FTZ Board's recent approval of the reorganization of FTZ 22 under the alternative site framework (ASF) (Board Order 1738, 1/12/2011, 76 FR 4285, 1/25/2011), FTZ 22 subsequently requested to designate the Baxter facility as a usage-driven site (Site 21, A27f-2-2011, 1/14/2011), and requested T/IM authority for Baxter's manufacturing of I.V. products. The foreign-origin component approved for this activity is laminated film (HTSUS 3920.10). The FTZ staff examiner reviewed the application and determined that it meets the criteria for approval under T/IM procedures. As noted above, public comment had been sought on the specific proposed activity through the Federal Register notice published regarding the proposed subzone authority (FTZ Doc. 60-2010).
Pursuant to the authority delegated to the FTZ Board Executive Secretary in the above-referenced Board Orders, the application for T/IM authority is approved, effective this date, until February 11, 2013, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.
Dated: February 11, 2011.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
