Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 76--Bridgeport, Connecticut; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; MannKind Corporation 
(Inhalable Insulin); Danbury, Connecticut

    MannKind Corporation (MannKind), an operator of FTZ 76, submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facilities in Danbury, Connecticut, within FTZ 76. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 
CFR 400.22) was received on October 29, 2015.
    A separate application for subzone designation at the MannKind 
facilities was submitted and will be processed under Section 400.31 of 
the FTZ Board's regulations (Doc. S-147-2015). The facilities are used 
for the production of inhalable insulin. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 
FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status material 
and specific finished product described in the submitted notification 
(as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt MannKind from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status ingredient used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, MannKind would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to inhalable 
insulin (duty-free) for the foreign-status ingredient, fumaryl 
diketopiperazone (duty rate--6.5%). Customs duties also could possibly 
be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
