Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 990]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Hewlett-Packard Company 
(Computer and Related Electronic Products); Bridgewater and Washington, 
New Jersey

    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 Port Authority of New York and New 
Jersey, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 49, for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the computer and electronic products 
manufacturing facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located at 
sites in Bridgewater and Washington, New Jersey, was filed by the Board 
on June 19, 1997,and notice inviting public comment was given in the 
Federal Register (FTZ Docket 53-97, 62 FR 35151, 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 Bridgewater 
and Washington, New Jersey, area (Subzone 49G), 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 10th day of July 1998.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
