Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 972]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Hewlett-Packard Company 
(Computer and Related Electronic Products), Richmond, Virginia, Area

    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 Capital Region Airport Commission, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 207, for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the computer and electronic products 
manufacturing facility of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located at sites 
in the Richmond, Virginia, area, was filed by the Board on June 19, 
1997, and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (FTZ Docket 51-97, 62 FR 35152, 6/30/97; amended 8/25/97); 
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 computer and related electronic products manufacturing 
facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located in the Richmond, 
Virginia, area (Subzone 207B), at the locations described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of April 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Acting Executive Secretary.
