Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2071]


Restricted Approval for Production Authority; Foreign-Trade Zone 
186; Flemish Master Weavers (Machine-Woven Area Rugs); Waterville, 
Maine

    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 (FTZ) 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 City of Waterville, Maine, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 186, has requested production authority on behalf of Flemish 
Master Weavers (FMW), within Subzone 186A in Sanford, Maine (B-28-2017, 
docketed April 18, 2017);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 26434, June 7, 2017; 83 FR 1608, January 12, 
2018) 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 
the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that the proposal would 
be in the public interest, if subject to the restrictions listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application for production authority under zone procedures 
within Subzone 186A on behalf of FMW, as described in the application 
and Federal Register notice, is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, and further subject

    2. Approval is limited to an initial period of five years, subject 
to extension upon review.

    Dated: October 25, 2018.
