Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1411]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Millipore Corporation 
(Polyvinylidene Fluoride Filtering Devices), Jaffrey, New Hampshire

    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 (the 
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 Pease Development Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 81 (Portsmouth, New Hampshire), has made application for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the polyvinylidene 
fluoride (PVDF) filtering device manufacturing plant of Millipore 
Corporation, located in Jaffrey, New Hampshire (Docket 55-2004, filed 
11-30-2004);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 70996, 12-8-2004); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
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 activity related to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filtering 
device manufacturing at the facilities of Millipore Corporation, 
located in Jaffrey, New Hampshire (Subzone 81D), as described in the 
application and Federal Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.
    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of September 2005.

Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
