Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1462]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Benteler Automotive 
Corporation (Automotive Suspension Components), Duncan, South Carolina

    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 South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 38, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the automotive suspension components 
manufacturing plant of Benteler Automotive Corporation, located in 
Duncan, South Carolina (Docket 50-2005, filed 10-17-2005);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (70 FR 61430, 10-24-2005); 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 automotive suspension components 
manufacturing at the Benteler Automotive Corporation plant located in 
Duncan, South Carolina (Subzone 38F), 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 30th day of June 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
Acting Executive Secretary.
