Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 931]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Nissan Industrial Engine
Manufacturing USA, Inc.; (Spark Ignition Industrial Engines), Marengo,
Illinois
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 Greater Rockford Airport
Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 176, for authority to
establish special-purpose subzone status at the spark ignition
industrial engine manufacturing plant of Nissan Industrial Engine
Manufacturing USA, Inc., in Marengo, Illinois, was filed by the Board
on October 16, 1996, and notice inviting public comment was given in
the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 76-96, 61 FR 55268, 10-25-96); 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 a
subzone (Subzone 176D) at the Nissan Industrial Engine Manufacturing
USA, Inc., plant in Marengo, Illinois, at the location described in the
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations,
including Sec. 400.28.
