Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1547]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Medline Industries, Inc. 
(Medical Supply Distribution and Processing); Mundelein, Waukegan, and 
Libertyville, IL

    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 Illinois International Port District, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 22, has made application for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the medical supply distribution and 
processing facilities of Medline Industries, Inc., in Mundelein, 
Waukegan, and Libertyville, Illinois (Docket 12-2007, filed 3-28-2007);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 16763, 4-5-2007); 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 would be satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest if approval were subject to 
restriction;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to medical supply distribution and 
processing at the Medline Industries, Inc., facilities located in 
Mundelein, Waukegan, and Libertyville, Illinois (Subzone 22O), as 
described in the 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 requiring that certain foreign-origin 
textile and apparel products 1 must be admitted to the 
subzone under privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) or domestic 
status (19 CFR 146.43).
