    Foreign-Trade Zones Board
    [Order No. 845]
    
    
    Grant of Authority for Subzone Status United Technologies 
    Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Group Precision Components International, 
    Inc. (Aircraft Turbine Engine Components) Columbus, GA
    
        Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
    June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
    Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    
        Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act ``To 
    provide for the establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of 
    entry of the United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, 
    and for other purposes,'' as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) (the Act), the 
    Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to grant to 
    qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
    zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs ports of entry;
        Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
    establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
    cannot serve the specific use involved;
        Whereas, an application from the Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., 
    grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 26, for authority to establish special-
    purpose subzone status at the aircraft turbine engine component 
    manufacturing facilities of United Technologies Corporation, Pratt & 
    Whitney Group and Precision Components International, Inc. (an 
    affiliate of Pratt & Whitney), located within a manufacturing complex 
    in Columbus, Georgia, was filed by the Board on November 1, 1995, and 
    notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ 
    Docket 68-95, 60 FR 56566, 11-9-95); and,
        Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
    examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
    Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
    is in the public interest;
        Now, therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of 
    subzones at the United Technologies Corporation, Pratt & Whitney Group 
    plant (Subzone 26E) and at the adjacent Precision Components 
    International, Inc., plant (Subzone 26F) in Columbus, Georgia, at the 
    locations described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
    Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.
    
        Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of October 1996.
    Robert S. LaRussa,
    Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
    Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    
        Attest:
    John J. Da Ponte, Jr.,
    Executive Secretary.
