(the Board) adopts the following Order:
Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ``* * * the

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

in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
Whereas, the Greater Miami Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of

Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the

Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
