[Order No. 1003]

 
Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone, Gregg 
County, Texas

    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 ports of entry;
    Whereas, Gregg County, Texas (the Grantee), has made application to 
the Board (FTZ Docket 75-97) requesting the establishment of a foreign-
trade zone at the Gregg County Airport, Gregg County, Texas, adjacent 
to the Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, Customs port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (62 FR 54821, 10/22/97); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report and finds that the requirements of the Act and the 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the application 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 234, at the site 
described in the application, subject to the Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Sec. 400.28.
