Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1630]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, William Powell Company dba 
Starflo Corporation (Industrial Valve Warehousing and Distribution), 
Manning, South Carolina

    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 South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 21, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the industrial valve 
warehouse and distribution facility of the William Powell Company dba 
Starflo Corporation, located in Manning, South Carolina, (FTZ Docket 
57-2008, filed 10/08/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 61781, 10/17/08) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; 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 the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to industrial valve warehousing and 
distribution at the facility of William Powell Company dba Starflo 
Corporation, located in Manning, South Carolina (Subzone 21D) 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 26th day of June 2009.

Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
    Attest:
