Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1380]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Sanford LP (Pen, Pencil, 
Writing/Art Products); Shelbyville and Lewisburg, TN

    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 Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson 
County, grantee of FTZ 78, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish special-purpose subzone status at the writing 
and art product warehousing/distribution facilities of Sanford LP, 
located in Shelbyville and Lewisburg, Tennessee (FTZ Docket 12-2004, 
filed 03-18-04).
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (69 FR 16520, 3/30/04); 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 writing and art products warehousing/distribution 
facilities of Sanford LP, located in Shelbyville and Lewisburg, 
Tennessee, (Subzone 78H), at the locations described in the 
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed in Washington, DC, this 8th day of March 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
