Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1700]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status: CNH America, LLC 
(Agricultural Equipment Manufacturing); Grand Island, Nebraska

    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 Lincoln Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 59, 
has made application to the Board for authority to establish a special-
purpose subzone at the agricultural combine and hay tools manufacturing 
and distribution facilities of CNH America, LLC (CNH), located in Grand 
Island, Nebraska (FTZ Docket 11-2010, filed 2/16/2010);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (75 FR 8652, 2/25/2010) 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 the manufacturing and distribution of 
agricultural combines and hay tools at the facilities of CNH America, 
LLC, located in Grand Island, Nebraska (Subzone 59B), 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 19th day of August 2010.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
