Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1205]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Northrop Grumman 
Corporation--Defense Systems Division (Radar and Electro-Optical 
Systems), Rolling Meadows, IL

    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 Illinois International Port District, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 22, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the manufacturing 
facilities (radar and electro-optical systems) of Northrop Grumman 
Corporation--Defense Systems Division, located in Rolling Meadows, 
Illinois (FTZ Docket 59-2000, filed 11/15/2000);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 71297, 11/30/2000); 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 radar and electro-optical systems manufacturing 
facilities of Northrop Grumman Corporation--Defense Systems Division 
located in Rolling Meadows, Illinois (Subzone 22M), at the location 
described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including section 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of January, 2002.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
