Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Order No. 1618] 

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, 

Shin-Etsu Handotai America, Inc. 

(Semiconductor-Grade Silicon Wafers), 

Vancouver, WA 

Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the ForeignTrade 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 Cowlitz County 

Economic Development Council, 

grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 120, has 

made application to the Board for 

authority to establish a special-purpose 

subzone at the semiconductor-grade 

silicon wafer manufacturing and 

distribution facility of Shin-Etsu 

Handotai America, Inc., located in 

Vancouver, Washington, (FTZ Docket 

63–2008, filed 10/30/2008); 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment has been given in the Federal 

Register (73 FR 66838–66839, 11/12/ 

2008) and the application has been 

processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and 

the Board’s regulations; 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 are satisfied, and 

that the proposal is in the public 

interest; 

Now, therefore, the Board hereby 

grants authority for subzone status for 

activity related to the manufacturing 

and distribution of semiconductor-grade 

silicon wafers at the facility of Shin-Etsu 

Handotai America, Inc., located in 

Vancouver, Washington (Subzone 

120A), as described in the application 

and Federal Register notice, subject to 

the FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations, 

including Section 400.28. 

Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of 

May 2009.
