Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1107]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, SMC Pneumatics, Inc. 
(Pneumatic Automation Components); Indianapolis, IN

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, of 
June 18,

[[Page 39866]]

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 at the pneumatic automation 
components manufacturing and warehousing facilities of SMC Pneumatics, 
Inc., located in Indianapolis, Indiana (FTZ Docket 38-99, filed 7/16/
99);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 41375, 7/30/99); 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 would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest provided approval is 
subject to restriction;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the pneumatic automation components manufacturing and 
warehousing facilities of SMC Pneumatics, Inc., located in 
Indianapolis, Indiana (Subzone 72P), at the location described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec. 400.28, and further subject to a restriction requiring 
that all foreign merchandise admitted to the subzone be placed in 
privileged foreign status.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of June 1999.
Troy H. Cribb,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Pierre V. Duy,
Acting Executive Secretary.
