Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1093]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Consolidated Diesel 
Company (inc.) (Spark-Ignition and Diesel Engines); Nash County, North 
Carolina

    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 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 North Carolina Global TransPark Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 214, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the spark-ignition and diesel engine 
manufacturing facilities of Consolidated Diesel Company (Inc.), located 
in Whitakers and Battleboro, North Carolina (FTZ Docket 6-99, filed 2-
10-99);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 8541, 2-22-99); 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 spark-ignition and diesel engine manufacturing facilities 
of Consolidated Diesel Company (Inc.) located in Whitakers and 
Battleboro, North Carolina (Subzone 214A), 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 8th day of May 2000.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Acting Executive Secretary.
