Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 30--Salt Lake City, Utah, Notification 
of Proposed Production Activity, Albion Laboratories, Inc. (Mineral 
Amino Acid Chelates), Ogden, Utah

    Albion Laboratories, Inc. (Albion) submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board (the Board) for its 
facilities in Ogden, Utah, within Subzone 30E. The notification 
conforming to the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 
400.22) was received on January 13, 2023.
    Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status materials/components and 
specific finished products described in the submitted notification 
(summarized below) and subsequently authorized by the Board. The 
benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ 
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's 
website--accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
    The proposed finished products include: calcium bisglycinate; 
calcium citrate malate; calcium potassium phosphate citrate; chromium 
nicotinate glycinate chelate; copper bisglycinate; dicalcium malate; 
dimagnesium malate; ferric glycinate; ferrous bisglycinate; magnesium 
creatine; magnesium bisglycinate; magnesium lysinate glycinate; 
manganese bisglycinate; selenium glycinate; and, zinc bisglycinate 
chelate (duty rate ranges from 3.7% to 6.5%).
    The proposed foreign-status materials and components include 
glycine (aminoacetic acid) and malic acid (duty rates are 4.2% and 4%, 
respectively). The request indicates that glycine is subject to 
antidumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders if imported from 
certain countries. The Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.14(e)) require 
that merchandise subject to AD/CVD orders, or items which would be 
otherwise subject to suspension of liquidation under AD/CVD procedures 
if they entered U.S. customs territory, be admitted to the zone in 
privileged foreign (PF) status (19 CFR 146.41). The request also 
indicates that both glycine and malic acid are 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 PF status. As requested, FTZ 
authority would be subject to the following restrictions: that (1) all 
finished products made with PF status glycine be exported, and (2) that 
any approval for glycine be limited to five years.
    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 March 6, 2023.
    A copy of the notification will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Online FTZ Information System'' section of the Board's 
website.
    For further information, contact Diane Finver at 
[email protected].

    Dated: January 19, 2023.
Elizabeth Whiteman,
Acting Executive Secretary.
