Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1370]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Black & Decker Corporation 
(Power Tools, Lawn and Garden Tools, Fasteners, and Home Products), 
Fort Mill, SC

    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 South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of FTZ 
38, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the tool, fastener, and home product 
warehousing/distribution facility of Black & Decker Corporation, 
located in Fort Mill, South Carolina (FTZ Docket 16-2004, filed 04-29-
04).
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (69 FR 25372, 5/6/04); 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 authority for subzone 
status at the tool, fastener, and home product warehousing/distribution 
facility of Black & Decker Corporation, located in Fort Mill, South 
Carolina (Subzone 38E), 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 9th day of February, 2005.

Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
