Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 1544


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Lilly del Caribe, Inc. 
(Pharmaceutical Manufacturing), Carolina, Guayama and Mayagu[euml]z, PR

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ''...the 
establishment... of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United 
States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for other 
purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved, and when the activity results 
in significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 7, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the pharmaceutical 
manufacturing facilities of Lilly del Caribe, Inc., located in 
Carolina, Guyama and Mayagu[euml]z, Puerto Rico (FTZ Docket 44-2007, 
filed 8/27/07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 51407, 9/7/07); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds the requirements of the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to pharmaceutical manufacturing at the 
facilities of Lilly del Caribe, Inc., located in Carolina,Guayama and 
Mayagu[euml]z, Puerto Rico (Subzone 7K), as described in the 
application and Federal Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.
    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of March 2008.
