    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

the Board (FTZ Docket 72-96, 61 FR 54153, 10/17/96), requesting the 
establishment of a foreign-trade zone at the Springfield-Branson 
Regional Airport complex in Springfield, Missouri, within the

    Whereas,  notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register, and the Board adopts the findings and recommendations 
of the examiner's report and finds that the requirements of the Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the
