Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1469]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Eastman Kodak Company, (X-
ray Film, Color Paper, Digital Media, Inkjet Paper, Entertainment 
Imaging, and Health Imaging), White City and Medford, Oregon

    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, Jackson County, Oregon, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 206, 
has made application to the Board for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the manufacturing, warehousing, and 
distribution facilities (X-ray film, color paper, digital media, inkjet 
paper, entertainment imaging, and health imaging) of the Eastman Kodak 
Company, located in White City and Medford, Oregon (FTZ Docket 38-2005, 
filed 8/5/2005; amended 5/15/2006);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (70 FR 48535-48536, 8/18/2005); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to X-ray film, color paper, digital media, 
inkjet paper, entertainment imaging, and health imaging at the 
manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution facilities of the Eastman 
Kodak Company, located in White City and Medford, Oregon (Subzone 
206A), as described in the amended application and Federal Register 
notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Section 400.28, and further subject to a restriction that privileged 
foreign status (19 CFR Part 146.41) shall be elected:
    1. On foreign merchandise that falls under HTSUS headings or 
subheadings 2821, 2823, all of Chapter 32 or 3901.20 or where the 
foreign merchandise in question is described as a ``pigment, pigment 
preparation, masterbatch, plastic concentrate, flush color, paint 
dispersion, coloring preparation, or colorant.''
    2. On foreign merchandise that falls under HTSUS heading 4202, with 
the exception of merchandise classified in HTSUS categories 
4202.91.0090 and 4202.92.9060.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of July 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
