Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1278]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Hyundai Motor 
Manufacturing Alabama, LLC (Motor Vehicles), Montgomery, AL

    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 (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 Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 222, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the motor vehicle manufacturing plant 
of Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama, LLC, located in Montgomery, 
Alabama (FTZ Docket 55-2002, filed 11-27-2002);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (67 FR 72914, 12-9-2003);
    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 Hyundai Motor 
Manufacturing Alabama, LLC, located in Montgomery, Alabama (Subzone 
222A), at the location described in the application, subject to the FTZ 
Act and the Board's regulations, including section 400.28.
