Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1200]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Komatsu America 
International Co. (Construction Equipment), Chattanooga, TN

    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 Chattanooga Chamber Foundation, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 134, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the manufacturing 
facilities (construction equipment) of Komatsu America International 
Co., located in Chattanooga, Tennessee (FTZ Docket 48-2000, filed 7/17/
2000; amended 6/6/2001);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 50178, 8/17/2000; amended 66 FR 32600, 6/15/
2001); 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 
Komatsu America International Co., located in Chattanooga, Tennessee 
(Subzone 134A), at the locations described in the amended application, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of November 2001.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
