and notice inviting public comment was

given in the Federal Register (FTZ

Docket 76–96, 61 FR 55268, 10–25–96);

and,

Whereas, the Board adopts the

findings and recommendations of the

examiner’s report, and finds that the

requirements of the FTZ Act and

that approval of the application is in the

Now, therefore, the Board hereby

authorizes the establishment of a
