Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 230— 

Greensboro, North Carolina; 

Notification of Proposed Production 

Activity; Patheon Softgels 

(Pharmaceutical Products); High Point, 

North Carolina 

The Piedmont Triad Partnership, 

grantee of FTZ 230, submitted a 

notification of proposed production 

activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of 

Patheon Softgels (Patheon), located in 

High Point, North Carolina. The 

notification conforming to the 

requirements of the regulations of the 

FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was 

received on May 31, 2018. 

Patheon already has authority to 

produce certain prescription 

pharmaceutical products and soft 

gelatin capsules within Subzone 230C. 

Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 

additional FTZ authority would be 

limited to the specific foreign-status 

materials/components and specific 

finished products described in the 

submitted notification (as described 

below) and subsequently authorized by 

the FTZ Board. 

Production under FTZ procedures 

could exempt Patheon 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, Patheon would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to: Gelatin 

encapsulated ibuprofen capsules (dutyfree). Patheon 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 materials/components sourced 

from abroad include: Ponceau R4 (food 

coloring—for use only in production for 

export); ibuprofen active 

pharmaceutical ingredients; medium 

chain triglycerides; and, polyethylene 

glycol (duty rate ranges from 8.8ct/kg to 

6.5%). 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is July 

23, 2018. 

A copy of the notification will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary,

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–37–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 113—Ellis County, 

Texas; Application for Reorganization 

(Expansion of Service Area); Under 

Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Ellis County Trade Zone 

Corporation, grantee of Foreign-Trade 

Zone 113, requesting authority to 

reorganize the zone to expand its service 

area under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ 

Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF 

is an option for grantees for the 

establishment or reorganization of zones 

and can permit significantly greater 

flexibility in the designation of new 

subzones or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites 

for operators/users located within a 

grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of 

the FTZ Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a zone. The 

application was submitted pursuant to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the 

regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 

part 400). It was formally docketed on 

June 4, 2018. 

FTZ 113 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on December 21, 1984 (Board 

Order 283, 50 FR 300, January 3, 1985) 

and reorganized under the ASF on 

September 24, 2010 (Board Order 1708, 

75 FR 61706, October 6, 2010). The zone 

currently has a service area that 

includes Ellis County, Texas. 

The applicant is now requesting 

authority to expand the service area of 

the zone to include Navarro County, 

Texas, as described in the application. 

If approved, the grantee would be able 

to serve sites throughout the expanded 

service area based on companies’ needs 

for FTZ designation. The application 

indicates that the proposed expanded 

service area is adjacent to the Dallas/ 

Fort Worth Customs and Border 

Protection Port of Entry. 

In accordance with the FTZ Board’s 

regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case 

record and to report findings and 

recommendations to the FTZ Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is August 

10, 2018. Rebuttal comments in 

response to material submitted during 

the foregoing period may be submitted 

during the subsequent 15-day period to 

August 27, 2018. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the 

‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ 

Board’s website, which is accessible via
