Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1394]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Black & Decker Corporation 
(Tools/Home and Hardware Products/Fastening Systems); Rialto, CA

    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

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 Southern California Logistics Airport Authority, 
grantee of FTZ 243, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the tools, home and 
hardware products, and fastening systems warehousing/distribution 
facility of Black & Decker Corporation, located in Rialto, California

Federal Register (69 FR 52489, 8/26/04); 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 for distribution activity involving tools, home and hardware 
products, and fastening systems at the warehousing/distribution 
facility of Black & Decker Corporation, located in Rialto, California, 
(Subzone 243A), as described in the application, subject to the FTZ Act 
and the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.
