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

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 and Border Protection 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, and when the activity results in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
Whereas, the Piedmont Triad Partnership, grantee of Foreign-Trade
Zone 230, has made application to the Board for authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the warehouse and distribution facility of
VF Jeanswear, located in Mocksville, North Carolina, (FTZ Docket 15- 2011, filed 03/01/2011);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
Federal Register (76 FR 12022, 3/4/2011) and the application has been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; 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 the proposal is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone status for activity related to apparel warehousing and distribution at the facility of VF Jeanswear, located in Mocksville, North Carolina
(Subzone 230E), as described in the application and Federal Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including
Section 400.28.
