Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1186]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Astrazeneca Manufacturing 
Plant (Pharmaceutical Products), Westborough, MA

    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 Massachusetts Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 27, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the pharmaceutical product 
manufacturing plant of AstraZeneca LP, located in Westborough,

    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 77559, 12/12/00); 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 is in the public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the pharmaceutical product manufacturing
