Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1795]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; VF Jeanswear, (Apparel 
Distribution), Mocksville, NC

    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

[[Page 67672]]

* * * 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 Piedmont Triad Partnership, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 230, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
a special-purpose subzone at the warehouse and distribution facility of 
VF Jeanswear, located in Mocksville, North Carolina, (FTZ Docket 15-
2011, filed 03/01/2011);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (76 FR 12022, 3/4/2011) 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 warehousing and distribution at 
the facility of VF Jeanswear, located in Mocksville, North Carolina 
(Subzone 230E), 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 24th day of October 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Andrew McGilvray,
