Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1744]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Max Home, LLC (Upholstered 
Furniture); Fulton and Iuka, MS

    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 Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 158, has made application to the Board for 
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the upholstered 
furniture manufacturing facilities of Max Home, LLC located in Fulton 
and Iuka, Mississippi (FTZ Docket 41-2009, filed 8-3-2009; amended 3-
12-2010);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (74 FR 52454, 10-13-2009; 75 FR 12730, 3-17-2010) 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 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 grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the manufacture of upholstered furniture 
at the Max Home, LLC facilities located in Fulton and Iuka, Mississippi 
(Subzone 158F), as described in the application and Federal Register 
notices, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Section 400.28, and further subject to the following conditions:
    1. The annual quantitative volume of foreign micro-denier suede 
upholstery fabric finished with a hot caustic soda solution that Max 
Home, LLC may admit to the proposed subzone under nonprivileged foreign 
status (19 CFR 146.42) is limited to 2.23 million square yards.
    2. Max Home, LLC must admit all foreign-origin upholstery fabrics 
other than micro-denier suede fabric finished with a hot caustic soda 
solution to the proposed subzone under domestic (duty-paid) status (19 
CFR 146.43).
    3. For the purpose of monitoring by the FTZ Staff, Max Home, LLC 
shall submit additional operating information to supplement its annual 
report data.
    4. The subzone authority for the Max Home, LLC facilities shall 
remain in effect for a period of five years from the date of approval 
by the FTZ Board.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 18th day of February 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
