Proposed Production Activity; ISK Biosciences Corporation (Agricultural 
Chemicals); Memphis, Tennessee

    The City of Memphis, grantee of FTZ 77, submitted a notification of 
proposed production activity to the FTZ Board on behalf of ISK 
Biosciences Corporation (ISK Biosciences), located in Memphis, 
Tennessee. The notification conforming to the requirements of the 
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on March 12, 
2020.

equipment.
    The components and materials sourced from abroad include technical 
cyazofamid, isofetamid, pyriofenone, cyclaniliprole and fluazinam (duty
