DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 927]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Hewlett-Packard Company
(Computer and Related Electronic Products) Sacramento, California, Area
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 Sacramento-Yolo Port District,
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 143, for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the computer and electronic products
manufacturing facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located at
sites in the Sacramento, California, area, was filed by the Board on
March 10, 1997, and notice inviting public comment was given in the
Federal Register (FTZ Docket 14-97, 62 FR 12792, 3-18-97; amended, 8-
25-97); 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 are satisfied, and that approval of the
application, as amended, is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status at the computer and related electronic products manufacturing
facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, located in the Sacramento,
California, area (Subzone 143B), at the locations described in the
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations,
including Sec. 400.28.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of October 1997.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
