below as the regulations) govern the 

importation of certain animals and 

animal products into the United States 

to prevent the introduction of various 

animal diseases, including Newcastle 

disease and highly pathogenic avian 

influenza (HPAI). The regulations 

prohibit or restrict the importation of 

live poultry, poultry meat, and other 

poultry products from regions where 

these diseases are considered to exist. 

Section 94.6 of the regulations 

contains requirements governing the 

importation into the United States of 

carcasses, meat, parts or products of 

carcasses, and eggs (other than hatching 

eggs) of poultry, game birds, or other 

birds from regions of the world where 

HPAI exists or is reasonably believed to 

exist. HPAI is an extremely infectious 

and potentially fatal form of avian 

influenza in birds and poultry that, once 

established, can spread rapidly from 

flock to flock. The Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

maintains a restrictions list of regions it 

considers affected with HPAI of any 

subtype on the APHIS website at 

https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ 

ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-andanimal-product-import-information/ 

animal-health-status-of-regions. 

APHIS receives notice of HPAI 

outbreaks from veterinary officials of the 

exporting country, from the World 

Organization for Animal Health (OIE),1

or from other sources the Administrator 

determines to be reliable. 

On November 18, 2020, the veterinary 

authorities of the Republic of Croatia 

reported to the OIE an HPAI occurrence 

in that country. On November 25, 2020, 

after confirming that HPAI occurred in 

commercial birds or poultry, APHIS 

added the Republic of Croatia to the list 

of regions where HPAI exists. On that 

same date, APHIS issued an import alert 

notifying stakeholders that effective 

November 21, 2020, APHIS imposed 

restrictions on the importation of 

poultry, commercial birds, other types 

of birds (research, performing), ratites, 

any avian hatching eggs, unprocessed 

avian products and byproducts, and 

certain fresh poultry products from the 

Republic of Croatia to mitigate risk of 

HPAI introduction into the United 

States. 

On January 7, 2021, the veterinary 

authorities of the Republic of Senegal 

reported to the OIE an HPAI occurrence 

in that country. On January 12, 2021, 

after confirming that the HPAI occurred 

in commercial birds or poultry, APHIS 

added the Republic of Senegal to the list 

of regions where HPAI exists. On that 

same date, APHIS issued an import alert 

notifying stakeholders that effective 

December 30, 2020, APHIS imposed 

restrictions on the importation of 

poultry, commercial birds, other types 

of birds (research, performing), ratites, 

any avian hatching eggs, unprocessed 

avian products and byproducts, and 

certain fresh poultry products from the 

Republic of Senegal to mitigate risk of 

HPAI introduction into the United 

States. 

On February 8, 2021, the veterinary 

authorities of the People’s Democratic 

Republic of Algeria reported to the OIE 

an HPAI occurrence in that country. On 

February 10, 2021, after confirming that 

the HPAI occurred in commercial birds 

or poultry, APHIS added the People’s 

Democratic Republic of Algeria to the 

list of regions where HPAI exists. On 

that same date, APHIS issued an import 

alert notifying stakeholders that 

effective January 26, 2021, APHIS 

imposed restrictions on the importation 

of poultry, commercial birds, other 

types of birds (research, performing), 

ratites, any avian hatching eggs, 

unprocessed avian products and 

byproducts, and certain fresh poultry 

products from the People’s Democratic 

Republic of Algeria to mitigate risk of 

HPAI introduction into the United 

States. 

With the publication of this notice, 

we are informing the public that we 

added: The Republic of Croatia to the 

list of regions APHIS considers affected 

with HPAI of any subtype, effective 

November 25, 2020; the Republic of 

Senegal to the list of regions APHIS 

considers affected with HPAI of any 

subtype, effective January 12, 2021; and 

the People’s Democratic Republic of 

Algeria to the list of regions APHIS 

considers affected with HPAI of any 

subtype, effective February 10, 2021. 

This notice serves as an official record 

and public notification of these actions.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–56–2021] 

Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 38— 

Charleston, South Carolina; 

Notification of Proposed Production 

Activity, BMW Manufacturing 

Company, LLC (Passenger Motor 

Vehicles), Spartanburg, South Carolina 

BMW Manufacturing Company, LLC 

(BMW MC) submitted a notification of 

proposed production activity to the FTZ 

Board for its facility in Spartanburg, 

South Carolina. The notification 

conforming to the requirements of the 

regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 

400.22) was received on July 28, 2021. 

BMW MC already has authority to 

produce gasoline and diesel-powered 

motor vehicles, gasoline-powered 

hybrid plug-in electric motor vehicles, 

motor vehicle bodies, stamped body 

parts, and lithium-ion batteries within 

Subzone 38A. The current request 

would add finished products and a 

foreign status component to the scope of 

authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), 

additional FTZ authority would be 

limited to the specific foreign-status 

component 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 BMW MC 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, BMW MC would be able to 

choose the duty rates during customs 

entry procedures that apply to motor 

vehicle door assemblies and motor 

vehicle hatch assemblies (duty rate 

2.5%). BMW MC 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 component sourced from abroad 

is curved thin film transistor liquid 

crystal displays (duty-free). The request 

indicates that the component may be 

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: ftz@trade.gov. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

September 20, 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.
