Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1072]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Alfa Laval Distribution, 
Inc., (Separator and Decanter Centrifuge Equipment/Parts), 
Indianapolis, IN

    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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
     Whereas, the Indianapolis Airport Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 72, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the separator and decanter 
centrifuge equipment parts warehousing/distribution (non-manufacturing) 
facility of Alfa Laval Distribution, Inc., located in Indianapolis, 
Indiana (FTZ Docket 50-98, filed November 5, 1998);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (63 FR 63451, November 13, 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 
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 separator and decanter centrifuge equipment parts 
warehousing/distribution facility of Alfa Laval Distribution, Inc., 
located in Indianapolis, Indiana (Subzone 72N), at the location 
described in the application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28. The scope of authority does 
not include activity conducted under FTZ procedures that would result 
in a change in tariff classification.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 18th day of January 2000 .
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Attest:
