Foreign-Trade-Zones Board

[Order No. 1345]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Chevron Products Company 
(Petroleum Storage); Port Everglades, FL

    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, Broward County, Florida, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 25, 
has made application to the Board for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the petroleum product storage facility of 
Chevron Products Company (Chevron), located in Port Everglades, Florida 
(FTZ Docket 51-2003, filed 10-02-03).
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (68 FR 58304, 10/09/03); 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 petroleum storage facility of Chevron Products Company 
(Chevron), located in Port Everglades, Florida, (Subzone 25E), 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 18th day of August 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
