Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 41–96]

Foreign-Trade Zone 202; Los Angeles,

CA; Application for Subzone;

Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing

Company (3M) (Pharmaceutical

Products), Los Angeles, CA

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Board of Harbor

Commissioners of the City of Los

Angeles, grantee of FTZ 202, requesting

special-purpose subzone status for the

pharmaceutical manufacturing facility

of the Minnesota Mining &

Manufacturing Company (3M), in Los

Angeles, California. The application was

submitted pursuant to the provisions of

the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), and the

regulations of the Board (15 CFR part

400). It was formally filed on May 15,

1996.

3M is a global manufacturer of a wide

variety of products including tapes,

adhesives, abrasives, specialty

chemicals, electronic and

communications products, medical

imaging systems, data storage products,

traffic and personal safety products, and

health care products. Its 3M

Pharmaceuticals Division will operate

the proposed subzone site.

The 3M plant (12 buildings/121,000

mfg. sq. ft. on 32.5 acres) is located at

19901 Nordhoff Street, Los Angeles (Los

Angeles County), California. The facility

(400 employees) primarily produces

solid-dose pharmaceutical products

such as: antacids, appetite suppressants,

muscle relaxants, and products for the

treatment of arthritis, skeletal muscle

pain, cardiac arrhythmia, asthma and

urinary tract infections; controlled-dose

inhalers for the treatment of bronchial

asthma and vascular headaches; and

transdermal patches for hormonal

replacement and the treatment of angina

pain. The materials for certain products

are sourced abroad (accounting for some

30 percent of total material value) and

include, aluminum bottles, valves, valve

parts and plastic actuators for aerosol

delivery systems, orphenadrine citrate,

antacid capsules and tablets,

epinephrine, flecanide acetate,

methenamine hippurate, pirbuterol

acetate, theophylline anhydrous, and

ethyl oleate. Some 40 percent of

production is exported.

Zone procedures would exempt 3M

from Customs duty payments on foreign

materials used in production for export.

On domestic shipments, the company

would be able to choose the duty rates

that apply to the finished products

(duty-free) instead of the rates otherwise

applicable to the foreign materials

(duty-free to 7.7%). The application

indicates that the savings from zone

procedures will help improve the

plant’s international competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment is invited from

interested parties. Submissions (original

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

address below. The closing period for

their receipt is July 23, 1996. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to August 7, 1996).

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:

U.S. Department of Commerce District

Office, Room 9200, 11000 Wilshire

Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90024.
