Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 958 ]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Bayer Corporation (Rubber
Chemicals); Goose Creek, SC
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 South Carolina State Ports
Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 21, for authority to establish
special-purpose subzone status at the rubber chemicals manufacturing
plant of Bayer Corporation, in Goose Creek, South Carolina, was filed
by the Board on February 18, 1997, and notice inviting public comment
was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 9-97, 62 FR 9159, 2/28/
97; amended, 62 FR 26773, 5/15/97); and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
[[Page 10190]]
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, as amended, is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the rubber chemicals manufacturing plant of Bayer
Corporation, located in Goose Creek, South Carolina (Subzone 21C), at
the location described in the application, as amended, and subject to
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of February 1998.
