Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 992]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Globe Metallurgical, Inc. 
(Ferroalloys and Silicon Metals); Beverly, Ohio

    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 Rickenbacker Port Authority, 
grantee of FTZ 138, for authority to establish special-purpose subzone 
status at the ferroalloys and silicon metals manufacturing plant of 
Globe Metallurgical, Inc., in Beverly, Ohio,

[[Page 39071]]

was filed by the Board on April 21, 1997, and notice inviting public 
comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 34-97, 62 FR 
24393, 5/5/97) and was amended on April 21, 1998; 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 would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application, as amended, would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the ferroalloys and silicon metals manufacturing plant of 
Globe Metallurgical, Inc., located in Beverly, Ohio (Subzone 138D), at 
the location described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28, and subject to the 
following conditions:
    1. Foreign status products consumed in the production process shall 
be subject to duty at the applicable rate;
    2. Privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) shall be elected on 
all foreign merchandise admitted to the subzone; and
    3. All foreign status merchandise subject to an antidumping or 
countervailing duty order (15 CFR 400.33) must be exported.

    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.
