    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 West Virginia Economic Development Authority (the 
Grantee), a West Virginia public corporation, has made application to 
the Board (FTZ Docket 61-97, 62 FR 40332, 7/28/97), requesting the 
establishment of a foreign-trade zone at a site in Charleston, West 
Virginia, within the Charleston Customs port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register; and,
    Whereas, 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 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 229, at the sites 
described in the application, subject to the Act and the Board's
