Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1403]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Midwest Quality Gloves, 
Inc. (Distribution of Gloves, Raingear, Footwear, and Garden 
Accessories), Chillicothe and Hamilton, Missouri

    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 Greater Kansas City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 15, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the warehousing and 
distribution facilities of Midwest Quality Gloves, Inc., located in 
Chillicothe and Hamilton, Missouri (FTZ Docket 38-2004, filed 8/24/04);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 53406-53407, 9/1/04); 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;

[[Page 43395]]

    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the distribution of glove, raingear, 
footwear and garden accessories at the warehousing facilities of 
Midwest Quality Gloves, Inc., located in Chillicothe and Hamilton, 
Missouri (Subzone 15H), as described in the application, and subject to 
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.
