Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1011]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status: Meadowcraft, Inc. (Wrought 
Iron Patio Furniture), Yuma County, Arizona

    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, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides 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,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 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, the Yuma County Airport Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 219, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the wrought iron patio 
furniture finishing and distribution (non-manufacturing) facility of 
Meadowcraft, Inc., located in Yuma County, Arizona (FTZ Docket 83-97, 
filed 12/16/97);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (63 FR 204, 1/5/98); 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 would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the wrought iron patio furniture finishing and distribution 
facility of Meadowcraft, Inc., located in Yuma County, Arizona, 
(Subzone 219A), 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 condition that privileged foreign status (19 CFR 
Sec. 146.41) shall be elected on all foreign merchandise admitted to 
the subzone.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 1st day of December, 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Attest:
Dennis Puccinelli,
Acting Executive Secretary.
