Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1025]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, ESCO Company Limited 
Partnership Plant, (Colorformer Chemicals), Muskegon, Michigan

    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 KOM Foreign Trade Zone Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 189, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the colorformer chemical 
manufacturing facility of ESCO Company Limited Partnership, located in 
Muskegon, Michigan (FTZ Docket 57-96, filed July 8, 1996 amended on 
July 28, 1997; amendment withdrawn on March 13, 1997);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (61 FR 38137, July 23, 1996; 61 FR 59401, November 22, 1996 
and 62 FR 11813, March 13, 1997); 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 would be in the public interest if subject to restriction;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the colorformer chemical manufacturing

facility of ESCO Company Limited Partnership, located in Muskegon, 
Michigan (Subzone 189B), at the location described in the application, 
and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Sec. 400.28, and further subject to a restriction requiring that any 
foreign status merchandise admitted to the subzone and manufactured or 
processed under zone procedures must be exported.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of March 1999.

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