Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1625]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, Thor Industries, Inc. 
(Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing), Jackson Center, Ohio

    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 
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 Greater Dayton Foreign-Trade Zone Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 100, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a

special-purpose subzone at the recreational vehicle manufacturing 
facilities of Thor Industries, Inc., located in Jackson Center, Ohio 
(FTZ Docket 66-2008, filed 12/4/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 76611-76612, 12/17/08); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds 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 recreational vehicle manufacturing at 
the facilities of Thor Industries, Inc., located in Jackson Center, 
Ohio (Subzone 100D), as described in the application and Federal 
Register notice, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28.
