Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1336]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, American Eurocopter LLC 
(Helicopter and Helicopter Spare Parts); Grand Prairie, TX

    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 Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, grantee 
of FTZ 39, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the helicopter warehousing/
distribution facility of American Eurocopter LLC, located in Grand 
Prairie, Texas (FTZ Docket 38-2003, filed 8/4/03, and amended 1/20/04);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (68 FR 47536, 8/11/03); 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 helicopter warehousing and distribution facilities of 
American Eurocopter LLC, located in Grand Prairie, Texas (Subzone 39H), 
at the location described in the application, as amended, subject to 
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of June 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
