Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1316]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Inflation Systems, Inc. 
(Automotive Airbag Inflators and Propellant), Moses Lake, WA

    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 Moses Lake Public Corporation, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 203, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the automotive airbag inflator and 
propellant manufacturing plant of Inflation Systems, Inc., located in 
Moses Lake, Washington (FTZ Docket 25-2003, filed 6-9-2003);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 35857, 6-17-2003);
    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 automotive airbag inflator and propellant manufacturing 
plant of Inflation Systems, Inc., located in Moses Lake, Washington 
(Subzone 203A), at the location described in the application, subject 
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 22nd day of January 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
