Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1342]


Grant of Authority For Subzone Status; L'Oreal USA, Inc. 
(Cosmetic and Beauty Products); Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties, 
NJ

    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 New Jersey Commerce and Economic Growth Commission, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 44, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the cosmetic and 
beauty products manufacturing and warehousing facilities of L'Oreal 
USA, Inc., located in Middlesex, Somerset and Union Counties, New 
Jersey (FTZ Docket 60-2003, filed 11/6/03, amended 3/12/04);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 65245-65246, 11/19/03 and 69 FR 13811-13812, 3/24/04); 
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, as amended, is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the cosmetic and beauty products manufacturing and 
warehousing facilities of L'Oreal USA, Inc., located in Middlesex, 
Somerset and Union Counties, New Jersey (Subzone 44E), at the locations 
described in the amended application, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of July 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
