DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

[Order No. 1571] 

Application for Subzone Status Not 

Approved 

Johnson Controls Battery Group, Inc. 

Yuma, Arizona 

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 Yuma County Airport 

Authority, grantee of FTZ 219, has made 

application to the Board for authority to 

establish special–purpose subzone 

status at the lead–acid battery 

manufacturing facility of Johnson 

Controls Battery Group, Inc., located in 

Yuma, Arizona (FTZ Docket 48–2007, 

filed 09–28–07); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (72 FR 57287–57288, 10/09/ 

2007); 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 have not been 

satisfied and that approval of the 

application would not be in the public 

interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby does 

not approve the application for subzone 

status at the lead–acid battery 

manufacturing facility of Johnson 

Controls Battery Group, Inc., located in 

Yuma, Arizona. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 2 nd

day of September 2008.
