Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1059]

 
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Hewlett-Packard Company 
(Computer and Related Electronic Products), San Diego, CA

    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 (the 
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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the City of San Diego, California, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 153, has made application to the Board for authority to 
establish special-purpose subzone status at the computer and electronic 
products manufacturing facilities of the Hewlett-Packard Company, 
located in San Diego, California, (FTZ Docket 36-98, filed 7/1/98);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (63 FR 37514, 7/13/98); 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 is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the computer products plant of the Hewlett-Packard Company, 
located in San Diego, California (Subzone 153B), 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 13th day of September, 1999.
Richard W. Moreland,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Attest: Dennis Puccinelli,
