Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1602]


Grant of Authority For Subzone Status, Dal-Tile Corporation 
(Flooring and Home Furnishings Warehousing and Distribution), Sunnyvale 
and Mesquite, Texas

    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 Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, grantee 
of FTZ 39, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the flooring and home furnishings 
warehousing and distribution facilities of Dal-Tile

    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the

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 flooring and home furnishings
