Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1215]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; E.I. Dupont De Nemours and 
Company, Inc. (Chemicals Products), Circleville, OH

    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 Rickenbacker Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 138, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the chemical products 
manufacturing and warehousing facilities of E.I. duPont de Nemours 
and Company, Inc., located in Circleville, Ohio (FTZ Docket 17-2001, 
filed 4/23/01);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (66 FR 21739, 5/1/01); 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 chemicals products manufacturing and warehousing 
facilities of E.I. duPont de Nemours and Company, Inc., located in 
Circleville, Ohio (Subzone 138F), at the location described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of March 2002.
Faryar Shirzad,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
