DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
[Order No. 687]

 

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; West Coast Forest 
Products, Inc. (Wood Building Products); Arlington, WA

    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 Port of Tacoma, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 86, Tacoma, Washington, requesting authority for 
special-purpose subzone status at the West Coast Forest Products, Inc., 
plant, located in Arlington (Snohomish County), Washington, for the 
processing/manufacturing for export of Spruce-Pine-Fir type lumber 
(predominantly white spruce) which is sourced from lumber mills in the 
northern sections of Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan, 
Canada, was filed by the Board on December 3, 1992, and notice inviting 
public comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 36-92, 57 
FR 61395, 12-24-92); and,
    Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Act and 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a 
subzone (Subzone 86B) at the West Coast Forest Products plant in 
Arlington, Washington, at the location described in the application, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Sec. 400.28, and subject to the following restriction and condition: 1. 
All foreign-origin lumber processed or manufactured under zone 
procedures at the plant shall be exported, and;
    2. Because of the special circumstances of this case, this action 
will not be considered a precedent for other FTZ Board actions.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 24th day of March 1994.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Chairman, Committee of Alternates, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Attest:
John J. Da Ponte, Jr.,
Executive Secretary.
