DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Order No. 1627


Grant of Authority For Subzone Status, Black & Decker Corporation 
(Power Tools, Lawn and Garden Tools and Home Products Warehousing and 
Distribution), Jackson, Tennessee

    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 City of Memphis, Tennessee, grantee of FTZ 77, has 
made application to the Board for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the power tools/lawn and garden tools and 
home products warehousing and distribution facilities of Black & Decker 
Corporation, located in Jackson, Tennessee (FTZ Docket 44-2008, filed 
8/5/2008);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 47585, 8/14/2008); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
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 power tools/lawn and garden tools and 
home products warehousing and distribution at the Black & Decker 
Corporation facility located in Jackson, Tennessee (Subzone 77D), 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 26th day of June 2009.
