Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1674]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; The Swatch Group (U.S.) 
Inc. (Watch and Jewelry Warehousing and Distribution), Secaucus, NJ

    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 Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 49, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the warehouse and 
distribution facility of The Swatch Group (U.S.) Inc., located in 
Secaucus, New Jersey (FTZ Docket 34-2009, filed 8/7/09);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (74 FR 41382, 8/17/09) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation 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 watch and jewelry warehousing and 
distribution at the facility of The Swatch Group (U.S.) Inc., located 
in Secaucus, New Jersey (Subzone 49L), 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 April 1, 2010.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
