Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 93--Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Liebel-Flarsheim Company, 
LLC (Diagnostic Imaging Contrast Media), Raleigh, North Carolina

    Liebel-Flarsheim Company, LLC (Liebel-Flarsheim) submitted a 
notification of proposed production activity to the FTZ Board for its 
facility in Raleigh, North Carolina. The notification conforming to the 
requirements of the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on March 2, 2021.
    The Liebel-Flarsheim facility is located within FTZ 93. The 
facility is used for the production of diagnostic imaging contrast 
media. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited to 
the specific foreign-status material/component 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 Liebel-Flarsheim from 
customs duty payments on the foreign-status component used in export 
production. On its domestic sales, for the foreign-status material/
component noted below, Liebel-Flarsheim would be able to choose the 
duty rate during customs entry procedures that applies to 
Dotarem[supreg] (gadoterate meglumine) (duty-free). Liebel-Flarsheim 
would be able to avoid duty on the foreign-status material/component 
which becomes scrap/waste. Customs duties also could possibly be 
deferred or reduced on foreign-status production equipment.
    The material/component sourced from abroad is dodecane tetraacetic 
acid (DOTA) (duty rate--6.5%). The request indicates that the material/
component is subject to duties under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 
1974 (Section 301), depending on the country of origin. The applicable 
Section 301 decisions require

subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in privileged foreign status 
(19 CFR 146.41).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is April 19, 2021.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    For further information, contact Diane Finver at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-1367.

    Dated: March 4, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
