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.
