Foreign-Trade Zones Board; Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; 
Smithkline Beecham Corporation (Pharmaceuticals) Bristol, TN

    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 Industrial Board of Blount County, 
Tennessee, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 148, for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the pharmaceutical 
manufacturing plant of SmithKline Beecham Corporation, in Bristol, 
Tennessee, was filed by the Board on November 8, 1993, and notice 
inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 
55-93, 58 FR 61065, 11-19-93); and,
    Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the FTZ 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 148A) at the plant site of SmithKline Beecham 
Corporation, in Bristol, Tennessee, at the location described in the 
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of February 1995.
