Products), Carolina, Puerto Rico

    Lilly del Caribe, Inc. (Lilly del Caribe) submitted a notification 
of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its facility in 
Carolina, Puerto Rico. The notification conforming to the requirements 
of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on 
April 14, 2020.
    Lilly del Caribe already has authority to produce several active 
ingredients within Subzone 7K. The current request would add a finished 
product and a foreign-status material/component to the scope of 
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would

finished product described in the submitted notification (as described 
below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board.
    Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Lilly del Caribe from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status materials/components used 
in export production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status 
materials/components noted below and in the existing scope of 
authority, Lilly del Caribe would be able to choose the duty rates 
during customs entry procedures that apply to finished selpercatinib in 
dosage form (duty-free). Lilly del Caribe would be able to avoid duty 
on foreign-status components which become scrap/waste. Customs duties 
also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign-status production 
equipment.
    The material/component sourced from abroad is: Selpercatinib active 
ingredient (duty rate 6.5%).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to:
