Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1237]


Grant of Authority For Subzone Status, Archer Daniels Midland, 
Inc. (Natural Vitamin E), Decatur, 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 Decatur Park District, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
245, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the manufacturing facilities (vitamin 
E) of Archer Daniels Midland, Inc., located in Decatur, Illinois (FTZ 
Docket 29-2000, filed 6/13/2000; amended 6/6/2001);
    Whereas, notices inviting public comment have been given in the 
Federal Register (65 FR 39123, 6/23/2000; 66 FR 32599, 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 natural vitamin E manufacturing facilities of Archer 
Daniels Midland, Inc., located in Decatur, Illinois (Subzone 245A), at 
the locations described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

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