    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: [[Page 26716]] 
    Whereas, the Board's regulations require Board approval prior to 
commencement of new manufacturing/processing activity within existing 
zone facilities;

    Whereas, the Rickenbacker Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 138, has 
requested authority under Sec. 400.32(b)(1) of the Board's regulations 
on behalf of Columbus Industries, Inc., to manufacture air filters 
under zone procedures within FTZ 138, Columbus, Ohio (filed 4/29/94, 
FTZ Docket A(32b1)-1-94; amended 8/9/94; Doc. 11-95, assigned 3/29/95);

    Whereas, pursuant to said provision, the Commerce Department's 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration has the authority to act 
for the Board in making such decisions in situations where the incoming 
merchandise for the proposed activity is admitted in foreign-privileged

    Whereas, the request, as amended, states that Columbus Industries 
will pay full duties on all merchandise admitted to the zone for its 
use in the manufacture of products for the domestic market (e.g., no 
duty exemption will be claimed for scrap and waste); and

    Whereas, the FTZ Staff has reviewed the proposal, taking into 
account the criteria of Sec. 400.31, and the Executive Secretary has 
recommended approval;

    Now, Therefore, the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, 
acting for the Board pursuant to Sec. 400.32(b)(1), concurs in the 
recommendation and hereby approves the request, as amended, subject to 
the Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28, and subject 
to the further requirement that all merchandise admitted to the zone 
for the Columbus Industries operation shall be placed in privileged 
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
