Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1090]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Firmenich, Inc. (Flavor 
and Fragrance Products), Plainsboro and Port Newark, New Jersey

    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 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 49, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the flavor and fragrance 
manufacturing facilities of Firmenich, Inc., located in Plainsboro and 
Port Newark, New Jersey (FTZ Docket 43-99, filed 9/1/99);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (64 FR 49441, 9/13/99); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
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 flavor and fragrance manufacturing facilities of 
Firmenich, Inc., located in Plainsboro and Port Newark, New Jersey 
(Subzone 49H), at the locations described in the application, and 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of May 2000.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
