Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1360]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Rockwell Automation, Inc. 
(Industrial Automation Products), Champaign, IL

    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 Economic Development Council for Central Illinois, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 114, has made application to the Board 
for authority to establish special-purpose subzone status at the 
warehousing, processing and distribution facility (industrial 
automation products) of Rockwell Automation, Inc., located in 
Champaign, Illinois (FTZ Docket 6-2004, filed 3/5/2004);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (69 FR 12300, 3/16/2004); 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 would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the industrial automation products warehousing, processing 
and distribution facility of Rockwell Automation, Inc., located in 
Champaign, Illinois (Subzone 114E), at the location described in the 
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 18th day of November, 2004.
James J. Jochum,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Dennis Puccinelli,
