Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1212]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Nissan North America, Inc. 
(Motor Vehicles); Canton, MS

    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

United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 
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 Vicksburg-Jackson Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 158, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the motor vehicle manufacturing plant 
of Nissan North America, Inc., located in Canton, Mississippi (FTZ 
Docket 27-2001, filed 6-26-2001);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (66 FR 35223, 7-3-2001); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
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 motor vehicle manufacturing plant of Nissan North 
America, Inc., located in Canton, Mississippi (Subzone 158D), 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 4th day of March, 2002.
