Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 1557


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Souriau USA (Aerospace, 
Industrial and R/F Connectors), York, Pennsylvania

     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:


[[Page 24941]]


    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 FTZ Corp of Southern Pennsylvania, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 147, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish a special-purpose subzone for the manufacture of aerospace, 
industrial and R/F connectors at the facility of Souriau USA, located 
in York, Pennsylvania (FTZ Docket 33-2007, filed 8-3-07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 45221, 8/13/07); 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 aerospace, industrial and R/F connector 
manufacturing at the facility of Souriau USA, located in York, 
Pennsylvania (Subzone 147B), 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 28th day of April 2008.

David M. Spooner,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
