Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1164]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Volvo Construction 
Equipment North America, Inc. (Construction Equipment) Asheville, NC, 
Area

    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 North Carolina Department of Commerce, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 57, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the manufacturing 
facilities (construction equipment) of Volvo Construction Equipment 
North America, Inc., located near Asheville, North Carolina (FTZ Docket 
38-2000, filed 7/17/2000);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 47377, 8/2/2000); 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 would be in the public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the construction equipment manufacturing facilities of Volvo 
Construction Equipment North America, Inc., located near Asheville, 
North Carolina (Subzone 57B), 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 15th day of May 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
