Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 972Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Hewlett-Packard Company (Computer and Related Electronic Products), Richmond, Virginia, Area

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 Capital Region Airport Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 207, for authority to establish special- purpose subzone status at the computer and electronic products manufacturing facility of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located at sites in the Richmond, Virginia, area, was filedby the Board on June 19, 1997, and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 51-97, 62 FR 35152, 6/30/97; amended 8/25/97); 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 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 computer and related electronic products manufacturing facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located in the Richmond, Virginia, area (Subzone 207B), at the locations described in the application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of April 1998. Robert S. LaRussa, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board. Dennis Puccinelli, Acting Executive Secretary.
