The petitions were submitted

pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently,

the United States Department of

Commerce has initiated separate

investigations to determine whether

increased imports into the United States

of articles like or directly competitive

with those produced by each firm

contributed importantly to total or

partial separation of the firm’s workers,

or threat thereof, and to a decrease in

sales or production of each petitioning

firm.

Any party having a substantial

interest in the proceedings may request

a public hearing on the matter. A

request for a hearing must be received

by Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room

7315, Economic Development

Administration, U.S. Department of

Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, no

later than the close of business of the

tenth day following the publication of

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 942]

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status,

JVC America, Inc. (Videotape

Products), Tuscaloosa County, AL

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, by an Act of Congress

approved June 18, 1934, an Act ‘‘To

provide 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,’’ as amended (19 U.S.C.

81a–81u) (the Act), the Foreign-Trade

Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to

grant to qualified corporations the

privilege of establishing foreign-trade

zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs

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;

Whereas, an application from the City

of Birmingham, Alabama, grantee of

Foreign-Trade Zone 98, for authority to

establish special-purpose subzone status

at the videotape and videocassette

manufacturing plant of JVC America,

Inc., in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama,

was filed by the Board on March 25,

1997, and notice inviting public

comment was given in the Federal

Register (FTZ Docket 23–97, 62 FR

17146, 4–9–97); 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 are satisfied, and

that approval of the application is in the

public interest;

Now, therefore, the Board hereby

grants authority for subzone status at the

videotape and videocassette

manufacturing plant of JVC America,

Inc., located in Tuscaloosa County,

Alabama (Subzone 98C), at the location

described in the application, and subject

to the FTZ Act and the Board’s

regulations, including § 400.28.

December 1997.
