Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1584 ]

(Power Generation Turbine Components)

    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

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 Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 42, has submitted an application on behalf of 
Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (MPSA), operator of Subzone 42A 
at the MPSA power generation turbine components repair/manufacturing 
plant in Orlando, Florida, requesting an expansion of MPSA's scope of 
FTZ manufacturing authority to include new production capacity and 
finished products (Docket 6-2008, filed 2-6-2008);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 9277, 2-20-2008); 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 are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby approves the request for expanded 
FTZ manufacturing authority, as described in the application and 
Federal Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of November 2008.
