County, Florida

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 (the Board)

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,

and when the activity results in a

significant public benefit and is in the

public interest;

Whereas, the Manatee County Port

Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade

Zone 169, has made application to the

Board for authority to establish specialpurpose subzone status at the adhesive

Whereas, the Board adopts the

[Docket 55–2000]

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—

Edinburg, Texas; Application and

Public Hearing

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board

(the Board) by the City of Edinburg,

Texas, to establish a general-purpose

foreign-trade zone in Edinburg, Texas,

adjacent to the Hidalgo/Pharr Customs

port of entry. The application was

submitted pursuant to the provisions of

the FTZ Act, as amended (19 U.S.C.

81a–81u), and the regulations of the

Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally

filed on September 22, 2000. The

applicant is authorized to make the

proposal under Senate Bill 691 of the

70th Legislature of the State of Texas

(Regular Session, 1987), codified as Tex

Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 1446.01.

The proposed zone would be the

second general-purpose zone in the

Hidalgo/Pharr Customs port of entry

area. The existing zone is FTZ 12 in

McAllen, Texas (Grantee: McAllen

Economic Development Corporation,

Board Order 84, 35 FR 16962, 11/3/70).

The proposed new zone would

involve a site (552 acres) located at the

Edinburg International Airport complex,

400 East Hargill Road, 11 miles north of

the City of Edinburg. The site is about

25 miles north of the Pharr/Reynosa

International Bridge, one of the two

bridges connecting the U.S. to Reynosa,

Mexico. The applicant owns the site.

The application indicates a need for

foreign-trade zone services in the

Edinburg area. Several firms have

indicated an interest in using zone

procedures for warehousing/distribution

of such items as precision instruments,

apparel, electronics and medical

supplies. Specific manufacturing

approvals are not being sought at this

time. Requests would be made to the

Board on a case-by-case basis.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

As part of the investigation, the

Commerce examiner will hold a public

hearing on November 1, 2000, at 9 a.m.,

University of Texas—Pan American

Campus, International Trade and

Technology Building, corner of Dr.

Miguel Nevarez and 107, Room 1.102,

Edinburg, Texas 78539.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.

Submissions (original and 3 copies)

shall be addressed to the Board’s

Executive Secretary at the address

receipt is November 28, 2000. Rebuttal

Canned Pineapple Fruit From Thailand;

Preliminary Results of Sunset Review

of Antidumping Duty Order

AGENCY: Import Administration,

International Trade Administration,

Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of preliminary results of

full sunset review: Canned pineapple

fruit from Thailand.

SUMMARY: On June 5, 2000, the

Department of Commerce (‘‘the

Department’’) initiated a sunset review

of the antidumping duty order on

canned pineapple fruit (‘‘CPF’’) from

Thailand (65 FR 35604) pursuant to

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930,

as amended (‘‘the Act’’). On the basis of

a notice of intent to participate filed on

behalf of domestic and respondent

interested parties, the Department

determined to conduct a full review. As

a result of this review, the Department

preliminarily finds that revocation of

the antidumping duty order would

likely lead to continuation or recurrence

of dumping at the levels indicated in the

Preliminary Results of Review section of

this notice.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 29, 2000.
