Zone 216 Olympia, WA; Darigold, Inc. (Dairy and Sugar-Containing 
Products)

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u)(the Act), the Foreign-
Trade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Port of Olympia, Washington, grantee of FTZ 216, has 
requested authority under Sec. 400.32(b)(1) of the Board's regulations 
on behalf of Darigold, Inc., to manufacture dairy products and sugar-
containing products for export under zone procedures within FTZ 216 
(filed 11-25-98, FTZ Docket 53-98);
    Whereas, pursuant to Sec. 400.32(b)(1), the Commerce Department's 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration has the authority to act 
for the Board in making such decisions on new manufacturing/processing 
activity under certain circumstances, including situations where the 
proposed activity is for export only (Sec. 400.32(b)(1)(ii)); and,
    Whereas, the FTZ Staff has reviewed the proposal, taking into 
account the criteria of Sec. 400.31, and the Executive Secretary has 
recommended approval; and,
    Whereas, all foreign-status honey (including honey products 
containing greater than 50% natural honey) is subject to certain 
requirements of the Department's Agreement Suspending the Antidumping 
Investigation on Honey From the People's Republic of China (60 FR

above) to FTZ 216 are subject to the terms and requirements of the 
Agreement upon admission to the zone;
    Now, therefore, the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, 
acting for the Board pursuant to Sec. 400.32(b)(1), concurs in the 
recommendation and hereby approves the request subject to the Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28, and further subject to 
a restriction requiring that all foreign status merchandise admitted to
