Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1326]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Perrigo Company 
Manufacturing Plant (Pharmaceutical Products), Battle Creek, Michigan 
Area

    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 Battle Creek, Michigan, grantee of FTZ 43, has 
made application to the Board for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the pharmaceutical product manufacturing 
plant of the Perrigo Company, located in the Battle Creek, Michigan, 
area (FTZ Docket 24-2003, filed 5/13/03, and amended 7/10/03);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (68 FR 27985, 5/22/03); 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 pharmaceutical product manufacturing facilities of the 
Perrigo Company, located in the Battle Creek, Michigan area (Subzone 
43D), at the locations described in the application, as amended, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec.  
400.28.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 13th day of April, 2004.
Jeffrey A. May,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
