Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 949]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status Sargento Foods, Inc., 
(Cheese Processing), Plymouth, Wisconsin

    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 Brown County, Wisconsin, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 167, for authority to establish special-purpose 
subzone status for export activity at the cheese processing plant of 
Sargento Foods, Inc., in Plymouth, Wisconsin, was filed by the Board on 
June 10, 1997, and notice inviting public comment was given in the 
Federal Register (FTZ Docket 48-97, 62 FR 33830, 6-23-97); 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 
for export processing is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for export activity at the Sargento Foods, Inc., plant in 
Plymouth, Wisconsin (Subzone 167C), at the location
