Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1491]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Sony Electronics, Inc. 
(Audio, Video, Communications and Information Technology Products and 
Accessories); Los Angeles, Carson and Lynwood, CA

    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 and Border Protection 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 Board of Harbor Commissioners of the City of Los 
Angeles, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 202, has made application to the 
Board for authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the 
warehouse and distribution facilities of Sony Electronics, Inc., 
located in Los Angeles, Carson and Lynwood, California (FTZ Docket 16-
2006, filed 4/28/06);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (71 FR 26923-26924, 5/9/06); 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 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 audio, video, communications and 
information-technology products and accessories warehousing and 
distribution at the facilities of Sony Electronics, Inc., located in 
Los Angeles, Carson and Lynwood, California (Subzone 202E), 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 21st day of November, 2006.
David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
Acting Executive Secretary.
