Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1644]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Cellusuede Products, Inc. 
(Flock Fiber), Rockford, IL

    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 Greater Rockford Airport Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 176, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the flock fiber manufacturing 
and distribution facility of Cellusuede Products, Inc., located in 
Rockford, Illinois, (FTZ Docket 48-2008, filed 9-3-2008);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 52816-52817, 9-11-08) 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 would be satisfied, and that the proposal would be 
in the public interest if subject to the restriction listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the manufacturing and distribution of 
flock fiber at the facility of Cellusuede Products, Inc., located in 
Rockford, Illinois (Subzone 1`76F), as described in the application and 
Federal Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, and further subject to the 
following restriction:

    Privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) shall be elected on
