Foreign—Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 993 ]

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status;

Bollinger Shipyards, Inc.

(Shipbuilding), Lockport, Louisiana

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 FTZ Act), the ForeignTrade 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

South Louisiana Port Commission,

grantee of FTZ 124, for authority to

establish special-purpose subzone status

for the shipbuilding facility of Bollinger

Shipyards, Inc., in Lockport, Louisiana,

was filed by the Board on August 11,

1997, and notice inviting public

comment was given in the Federal

Register (FTZ Docket 64–97, 62 FR

44642, 8/22/97); and,

Whereas, the Board adopts the

findings and recommendations of the

examiner’s report, and finds that the

requirements of the FTZ Act and

Board’s regulations would be satisfied,

and that approval of the application

would be in the public interest if

approval were given subject to the

standard shipyard restriction on foreign

steel mill products;

Now, Therefore, the Board hereby

grants authority for subzone status at the

shipbuilding facility of Bollinger

Shipyards, Inc., in Lockport, Louisiana

(Subzone 124H), at the location

described in the application, subject to

the FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations,

including § 400.28, and subject to the

following special conditions:
