Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1265]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Statu;, Taiyo America, Inc. 
(Electronic Chemicals), Carson City, Nevada

    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 Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 126, has made application to the Board 
for authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the electronic 
chemicals manufacturing and warehousing facilities of Taiyo America, 
Inc., located in Carson City, Nevada (FTZ Docket 14-2001, filed 3/2/
01);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register 66 FR 14126, 3-09-01); 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 electronic chemicals manufacturing and warehousing facilities of 
Taiyo America, Inc., located in Carson City, Nevada (Subzone 126B), at 
the location described in the application, and subject to the FTZ Act 
and the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.
