(Agricultural and Specialty Chemicals); West Helena, Arkansas

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:


[[Page 58513]]


    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 Little Rock Port Authority, 
submitted on behalf of the Arkansas Department of Industrial 
Development, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 14, for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the agricultural and 
specialty chemical manufacturing facility of Cedar Chemical Corporation 
located in West Helena, Arkansas, was filed by the Board on January 19, 
1996, and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (FTZ Docket 6-96, 61 FR 3000, 1/30/96);
    Whereas, on April 15, 1996, the application was amended to withdraw 
the manufacture of Trometamol from the scope of the request; 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 approval of the 
application, as amended, is in the public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a 
subzone (Subzone 14B) at the Cedar Chemical Corporation plant in West 
Helena, Arkansas, 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 4th day of November 1996.
