Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1048]

 
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status Buffalo China, Inc.; 
(Dinnerware/Table Top Products), Buffalo, NY

    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, 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, the County of Erie, New York, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 23, has made application to the Board for authority to establish 
special-purpose subzone status at the dinnerware/table top products 
finishing and distribution (non-manufacturing) facility of Buffalo 
China, Inc., located in Buffalo, New York (FTZ Docket 29-98, filed 5/
22/98);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (63 FR 31717, 6/10/98); 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 are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the dinnerware/table top products finishing and distribution 
facility of Buffalo China, Inc., located in Buffalo, New York, (Subzone 
23C), at the location described in the application, subject to the FTZ 
Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of July 1999.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
