Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 1561


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, SPAL USA, INC. (Vehicle 
Parts Distribution and Processing), Ankeny, Iowa

    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 authorized 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 Iowa Foreign-Trade Zone Corporation, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 107, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone for the vehicle parts 
distribution and processing (kitting) facility of SPAL USA, Inc., 
located in Ankeny, Iowa (FTZ Docket 42-2007, filed 8/23/07);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (72 FR 50326, 8/31/07); 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 the vehicle parts distribution and 
processing (kitting) facility of SPAL USA, Inc., located in Ankeny, 
Iowa (Subzone 107C), 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 20th day of May 2008.
