Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 958 ]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Bayer Corporation (Rubber 
Chemicals); Goose Creek, SC

    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 the South Carolina State Ports 
Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 21, for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the rubber chemicals manufacturing 
plant of Bayer Corporation, in Goose Creek, South Carolina, was filed 
by the Board on February 18, 1997, and notice inviting public comment 
was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 9-97, 62 FR 9159, 2/28/
97; amended, 62 FR 26773, 5/15/97); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the

examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application, as amended, is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the rubber chemicals manufacturing plant of Bayer 
Corporation, located in Goose Creek, South Carolina (Subzone 21C), at 
the location described in the application, as amended, and subject to 
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of February 1998.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
