    Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer) submitted a notification of proposed

Kalamazoo, Michigan within Subzone 43E. The notification conforming to 
the requirements of the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.22) was 
received on March 10, 2025.
    Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), FTZ production activity would be 
limited to the specific foreign-status material(s)/component(s) and 
specific finished product(s) described in the submitted notification 
(summarized below) and subsequently authorized by the Board. The 
benefits that may stem from conducting production activity under FTZ 
procedures are explained in the background section of the Board's 
website--accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. The proposed finished 
product and material/component would be added to the production 
authority that the Board previously approved for the operation, as 
reflected on the Board's website.
    The proposed finished product is phthalimido lactol (pharmaceutical 
intermediate product) (duty rate--6.5%).
    The proposed foreign-status material/component is 3 
phthalimidopropionaldehyde (3-PPA) (duty rate--6.5%). The request

of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (section 1702) and 
section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (section 301), depending on the 
country of origin. The applicable section 1702 and section 301 
decisions require subject merchandise to be admitted to FTZs in
