Dyeing & Finishing, Inc. (Textile Finishing)

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) (the Act), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, the County of Orange, New York, grantee of FTZ 37, and the 
FTZ of Orange, Ltd., have requested authority under 15 CFR 400.32(b)(1) 
of the Board's regulations on behalf of Newburgh Dye & Printing, Inc., 
and Prismatic Dyeing & Finishing, Inc., to process foreign textile 
products for the U.S. market and export under zone procedures, subject 
to restriction, within FTZ 37 (filed 4-26-2000, FTZ Docket 15-2000);
    Whereas, pursuant to 15 CFR 400.32(b)(1), the Commerce Department's 
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration has the authority to act 
for the Board in making such decisions on new manufacturing/processing 
activity under certain circumstances, including situations where the 
proposed zone benefits being sought do not involve the election of 
nonprivileged foreign status on foreign textile products (15 CFR 
400.32(b)(1)(iii)); and,
    Whereas, the application seeks FTZ authority for only the following 
processes: Dyeing, printing, shrinking, sanferizing, desizing, 
sponging, bleaching, cleaning/laundering, calendaring, hydroxilating, 
decatizing, fulling, mercerizing, chintzing, moiring, framing/beaming, 
stiffening, weighting, crushing, tubing, thermofixing, anti-microbial 
finishing, shower proofing, flame retardation, and embossing; and,
    Whereas, the FTZ Staff has reviewed the proposal, taking into 
account the criteria of 15 CFR 400.31, and the Executive Secretary has 
recommended approval;
    Now, therefore, the Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, 
acting for the Board pursuant to 15 CFR 400.32(b)(1), concurs in the 
recommendation and hereby approves the request subject to the Act and 
the Board's regulations, including 15 CFR 400.28, and further subject 
to the restrictions listed below.
    1. Privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) shall be elected on 
all foreign status fabric admitted to FTZ 37 for the Newburgh Dye & 
Printing, Inc., and Prismatic Dyeing & Finishing, Inc., activity;
    2. No activity under FTZ procedures shall be permitted that would 
result in a shift in HTSUS classification or a change in textile quota 
classification or country of origin; and,
    3. All FTZ activity shall be subject to Section 146.63(d) of the 
U.S. Customs Service regulations (19 CFR part 146).
