[Order No. 875]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Ohmeda Caribe Inc./Ohmeda
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Inc. (Pharmaceutical Products) Guayama,
Puerto Rico
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 Commercial Farm Credit and
Development Corporation of Puerto Rico, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone

pharmaceutical manufacturing plant of Ohmeda Caribe Inc./Ohmeda
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Inc., in Guayama, Puerto Rico, was filed
by the Board on June 22, 1995, and notice inviting public comment was
given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 33-95, 60 FR 34510, 7-3-95);
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
for a five-year period, subject to extension, is in the public
interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the pharmaceutical manufacturing plant of Ohmeda Caribe Inc./
Ohmeda Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Inc., located in Guayama, Puerto
Rico (Subzone 61H), at the location described in the application, for a
period of 5 years from the date of this Board Order, subject to
