Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1065]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Mercury Marine (Inc.) 
(Marine Propulsion Products), Fond Du Lac and Oshkosh, WI

    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 (the 
Board) to grant to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing 
foreign-trade zones in our 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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Foreign Trade Zone of Wisconsin, Ltd., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 41, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the marine propulsion products 
manufacturing facilities of Mercury Marine (Inc.), located in Fond du 
Lac and Oshkosh, Wisconsin (FTZ Docket 47-98, filed 10-30-98);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (63 FR 60293, 11-9-98); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the marine propulsion products manufacturing facilities of 
Mercury Marine (Inc.), located in Fond du Lac and Oshkosh, Wisconsin 
(Subzone 41H), at the locations described in the application, subject 
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of November, 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
