Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1077]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Gowan Company 
(Agricultural Chemical Products), Yuma, AZ

    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 Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 219, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone at the pesticide manufacturing and 
warehousing facilities of the Gowan Company, located in Yuma, Arizona 
(FTZ Docket 28-99, filed 5/27/99);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 31824, 6/14/99); 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 is in the public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the pesticide manufacturing and warehousing facilities of the 
Gowan Company, located in Yuma, Arizona (Subzone 219B), at the location 
described in the application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 10th day of February 2000.
