    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

    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 Athens Economic Development Corporation (the Grantee), 
a Texas non-profit corporation, has made application to the Board (FTZ

Federal Register (70 FR 34744, 6/15/05); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
