Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 43--Battle Creek, Michigan, Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity, Pfizer, Inc., (Pharmaceutical 
Products), Kalamazoo, Michigan

    Pfizer Inc. (Pfizer) submitted a notification of proposed 
production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in Kalamazoo, 
Michigan within Subzone 43E. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on April 12, 2017.
    Pfizer already has authority to produce certain pharmaceutical 
products within Subzone 43E. The current request would add finished 
products and a foreign status material/component to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would 
be limited to the specific foreign-status material/component and 
specific finished products described in the submitted notification (as 
described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Pfizer from customs 
duty payments on the foreign-status material/components used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, Pfizer would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that apply to crisaborole 
(Eucrisa^TM) (duty free) in finished product and bulk form 
for the

foreign-status material/component noted below and in the existing scope 
of authority. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced 
on foreign-status production equipment.
    The material/component sourced from abroad is crisaborole--active 
pharmaceutical ingredient (duty rate 6.5%).
    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 July 17, 2017.
    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 ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Christopher Wedderburn at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1963.

    Dated: June 2, 2017.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
