Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1025]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, ESCO Company Limited
Partnership Plant, (Colorformer Chemicals), Muskegon, Michigan
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 KOM Foreign Trade Zone Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 189, has made application to the Board for authority to
establish special-purpose subzone status at the colorformer chemical
manufacturing facility of ESCO Company Limited Partnership, located in
Muskegon, Michigan (FTZ Docket 57-96, filed July 8, 1996 amended on
July 28, 1997; amendment withdrawn on March 13, 1997);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (61 FR 38137, July 23, 1996; 61 FR 59401, November 22, 1996
and 62 FR 11813, March 13, 1997); 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 would be satisfied and that approval of the
application would be in the public interest if subject to restriction;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the colorformer chemical manufacturing
[[Page 15727]]
facility of ESCO Company Limited Partnership, located in Muskegon,
Michigan (Subzone 189B), at the location described in the application,
and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including
Sec. 400.28, and further subject to a restriction requiring that any
foreign status merchandise admitted to the subzone and manufactured or
processed under zone procedures must be exported.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of March 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
