Foreign-Trade Zones Board


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone; Auburn 
(Androscoggin County), ME

    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 
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 Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council, a Maine not-
for-profit corporation (the Grantee), has made application to the Board 
(FTZ Docket 14-2004, filed 4/5/04), requesting the establishment of a 
foreign-trade zone at sites in Auburn (Androscoggin County), Maine, 
within the Portland, Maine, Customs port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (69 FR 19387, 4/13/04); 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 is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 263, at the sites 
described in the application, and subject to the Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 1st day of October, 2004.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
