Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1180]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status Deere & Company 
(Construction Equipment) Davenport, IA

    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 Quad-City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 133, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish special-purpose subzone status at the 
manufacturing facility (construction equipment) of Deere & Company, 
located in Davenport, Iowa (FTZ Docket 64-2000, filed 11/17/2000);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 76217, 12/6/2000); 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 facility of Deere 
& Company, located in Davenport, Iowa (Subzone 133D), at the 
location described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.


    Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
