DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1011]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status: Meadowcraft, Inc. (Wrought
Iron Patio Furniture), Yuma County, Arizona
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 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, the Yuma County Airport Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 219, has made application to the Board for authority to
establish special-purpose subzone status at the wrought iron patio
furniture finishing and distribution (non-manufacturing) facility of
Meadowcraft, Inc., located in Yuma County, Arizona (FTZ Docket 83-97,
filed 12/16/97);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
Federal Register (63 FR 204, 1/5/98); and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the
application would be in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the wrought iron patio furniture finishing and distribution
facility of Meadowcraft, Inc., located in Yuma County, Arizona,
(Subzone 219A), at the location described in the application, subject
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28, and
subject to the condition that privileged foreign status (19 CFR
Sec. 146.41) shall be elected on all foreign merchandise admitted to
the subzone.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 1st day of December, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
