Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Notification of
Proposed Production Activity, Lilly Del
Caribe, Inc., Subzone 7K
(Pharmaceutical Products), Carolina
and Guayama, Puerto Rico
The Puerto Rico Industrial
Development Company, grantee of FTZ
7, submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board on
behalf of Lilly Del Caribe, Inc. (Lilly),
located within Subzone 7K in Carolina
and Guayama, Puerto Rico. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on March 08, 2016.
Lilly already has FTZ authority for the
production of finished pharmaceuticals
and their intermediates, including the
active ingredients humalog and
duloxetine. The current request would
add finished products and foreign-status
materials/components to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ activity would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/components 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 Lilly from customs duty
payments on the foreign-status
components used in export production.
On its domestic sales, Lilly would be
able to choose the duty rate during
customs entry procedures that applies to
finished abemaciclib capsules (breast
cancer treatment) and barcitinib tablets
(rheumatoid arthritis treatment) (duty

below and in the existing scope of
authority. Customs duties also could
possibly be deferred or reduced on
foreign-status production equipment.
The materials/components sourced

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The United States and Peru negotiated
the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion
Agreement (the ‘‘Agreement’’), which
entered into force on February 1, 2009.
Subject to the rules of origin in Annex
4.1 of the Agreement, and pursuant to
the textile provisions of the Agreement,
fabric, yarn, and fiber produced in Peru
or the United States and traded between
the two countries are entitled to dutyfree tariff treatment. Annex 3–B of the
Agreement also lists specific fabrics,
yarns, and fibers that the two countries
agreed are not available in commercial
quantities in a timely manner from
producers in Peru or the United States.
The items listed are commercially
unavailable fabrics, yarns, and fibers.
Articles containing these items are
entitled to duty-free or preferential
treatment despite containing inputs not
produced in Peru or the United States.
The list of commercially unavailable
fabrics, yarns, and fibers may be
changed pursuant to the commercial
availability provision in Chapter 3,
Article 3.3, Paragraphs 5–7 of the
Agreement. Under this provision,
interested entities from Peru or the
United States have the right to request
that a specific fabric, yarn, or fiber be
added to, or removed from, the list of
commercially unavailable fabrics, yarns,
and fibers in Annex 3–B.
Chapter 3, Article 3.3, paragraph 7 of
the Agreement requires that the
President publish procedures for parties
to exercise the right to make these
requests. The President delegated the
responsibility for publishing the
procedures and administering
commercial availability requests to the
Committee for the Implementation of
Textile Agreements (‘‘CITA’’), which
issues procedures and acts on requests
through the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Office of Textiles and
Apparel (‘‘OTEXA’’) (See Proclamation
No. 8341, 74 FR 4105, January 22, 2009).
Interim procedures to implement these
responsibilities were published in the
Federal Register on August 14, 2009.

Requests Under the Commercial
Availability Provision of the United

States—Peru Trade Promotion
Agreement Implementation Act and
Estimate of Burden for Collection of
Information, 74 FR 41111, August 11,
2009).
The intent of the U.S.-Peru TPA
Commercial Availability Procedures is
to foster the use of U.S. and regional
products by implementing procedures
that allow products to be placed on or
removed from a product list, on a timely
basis, and in a manner that is consistent
with normal business practice. The
procedures are intended to facilitate the
transmission of requests; allow the
market to indicate the availability of the
supply of products that are the subject
of requests; make available promptly, to
interested entities and the public,
information regarding the requests for
products and offers received for those
products; ensure wide participation by
interested entities and parties; allow for
careful review and consideration of
information provided to substantiate
requests and responses; and provide
timely public dissemination of
information used by CITA in making
commercial availability determinations.
CITA must collect certain information
about fabric, yarn, or fiber technical
specifications and the production
capabilities of Peruvian and U.S. textile
producers to determine whether certain
fabrics, yarns, or fibers are available in
commercial quantities in a timely
manner in the United States or Peru,
subject to Section 203(o) of the
Agreement.
II. Method of Collection
Participants in a commercial
availability proceeding must submit
public versions of their Requests,
Responses or Rebuttals electronically
(via email) for posting on OTEXA’s Web
site. Confidential versions of those
submissions which contain business
confidential information must be
delivered in hard copy to the Office of
Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) at the
U.S. Department of Commerce.
