Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1418]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Arctic Cat, Inc. (All-
Terrain Vehicle Engines and Snowmobiles), Thief River Falls, MN

    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, Koochiching Economic Development Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 259 (International Falls, Minnesota), has made 
application for authority to establish special-purpose subzone status 
at the all-terrain vehicle engine and snowmobile manufacturing 
facilities of Arctic Cat, Inc., located in Thief River Falls, Minnesota 
(Docket 56-2004, filed 12-3-2004);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 71779, 12-10-2004); 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 all-terrain vehicle engine and 
snowmobile manufacturing at the facilities of Arctic Cat, Inc., located 
in Thief River Falls, Minnesota (Subzone 259A), as described in the 
application and Federal Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 17th day of November, 2005.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

ATTEST:
Dennis Puccinelli,
