Foreign-Trade Zone Subzone 22-- Chicago, IL, Temporary/Interim 
Manufacturing Authority, Baxter Healthcare Corporation (Pharmaceutical 
and Biological Product Manufacturing), Notice of Approval

    On January 18, 2011, the Executive Secretary of the Foreign-Trade 
Zones (FTZ) Board filed an application submitted by the Illinois 
International Port District, grantee of FTZ 22, requesting temporary/
interim manufacturing (T/IM) authority, on behalf of Baxter Healthcare 
Corporation (Baxter) to manufacture pharmaceutical and biological 
intravenous (I.V.) products under FTZ procedures within FTZ 22--Site 
21, in Round Lake, Illinois.

[[Page 9744]]

    The application was processed in accordance with T/IM procedures, 
as authorized by FTZ Board Orders 1347 (69 FR 52857, 8/30/04) and 1480 
(71 FR 55422, 9/22/06). The Baxter facility and activity in question 
had initially been proposed to the FTZ Board for subzone authority, 
including notice in the Federal Register inviting public comment (FTZ 
Doc. 60-2010, 75 FR 65448, 10/25/2010). To enable expedited authority 
for Baxter in the context of the FTZ Board's recent approval of the 
reorganization of FTZ 22 under the alternative site framework (ASF) 
(Board Order 1738, 1/12/2011, 76 FR 4285, 1/25/2011), FTZ 22 
subsequently requested to designate the Baxter facility as a usage-
driven site (Site 21, A27f-2-2011, 1/14/2011), and requested T/IM 
authority for Baxter's manufacturing of I.V. products. The foreign-
origin component approved for this activity is laminated film (HTSUS 
3920.10). The FTZ staff examiner reviewed the application and 
determined that it meets the criteria for approval under T/IM 
procedures. As noted above, public comment had been sought on the 
specific proposed activity through the Federal Register notice 
published regarding the proposed subzone authority (FTZ Doc. 60-2010).
    Pursuant to the authority delegated to the FTZ Board Executive 
Secretary in the above-referenced Board Orders, the application for T/
IM authority is approved, effective this date, until February 11, 2013, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.28.

    Dated: February 11, 2011.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
