Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1714]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; VF Corporation (Apparel, 
Footwear and Luggage Distribution), Martinsville, VA

    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 New River Economic Development Alliance, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 238, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the warehouse/
distribution facilities of VF Corporation, located in Martinsville, 
Virginia (FTZ Docket 54-2009, filed 12/02/2009);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (74 FR 66621-66622, 12/16/2009) 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 apparel, footwear and luggage 
warehousing and distribution at the facilities of VF Corporation, 
located in Martinsville, Virginia (Subzone 238A), 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 7th day of October 2010.

Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
