Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1309]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; American Italian Pasta 
Company Distribution Facility (Dry Pasta Products); Tolleson, AZ

    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 City of Phoenix, Arizona, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 75, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the dry pasta distribution facility 
of the American Italian Pasta Company in Tolleson, Arizona (FTZ Docket 
11-2003, filed March 4, 2003);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (68 FR 12035, 3/13/03); 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 dry pasta distribution facility of the American Italian 
Pasta Company, located in Tolleson, Arizona (Subzone 75I), at the 
location described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of December 2003.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

    Attest:
Dennis Puccinelli,
