Order No. 1498

(Photomask Blanks), Poughkeepsie, New York

    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 County of Orange, New York, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 37, has made application to the Board for authority to establish a 
special-purpose subzone at the photomask blanks manufacturing and

    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (71 FR 32305, 6/5/06); 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 photomask blank manufacturing at the 
facilities of Schott Lithotec USA Corp, located in Poughkeepsie, New 
York (Subzone 37C), as described in the application and Federal
