[Order No. 1065]

(Marine Propulsion Products), Fond Du Lac and Oshkosh, WI
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, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides 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,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) to grant to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing
foreign-trade zones in our 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, and when the activity results
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
Whereas, the Foreign Trade Zone of Wisconsin, Ltd., grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 41, has made application for authority to establish
special-purpose subzone status at the marine propulsion products
manufacturing facilities of Mercury Marine (Inc.), located in Fond du
Lac and Oshkosh, Wisconsin (FTZ Docket 47-98, filed 10-30-98);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (63 FR 60293, 11-9-98); 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 grants authority for subzone
status at the marine propulsion products manufacturing facilities of
Mercury Marine (Inc.), located in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh, Wisconsin
(Subzone 41H), at the locations described in the application, subject
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.
