DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 1547]
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Medline Industries, Inc.
(Medical Supply Distribution and Processing); Mundelein, Waukegan, and
Libertyville, IL
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 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 Illinois International Port District, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 22, has made application for authority to establish
special-purpose subzone status at the medical supply distribution and
processing facilities of Medline Industries, Inc., in Mundelein,
Waukegan, and Libertyville, Illinois (Docket 12-2007, filed 3-28-2007);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (72 FR 16763, 4-5-2007); 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 would be satisfied, and that approval of the
application would be in the public interest if approval were subject to
restriction;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status for activity related to medical supply distribution and
processing at the Medline Industries, Inc., facilities located in
Mundelein, Waukegan, and Libertyville, Illinois (Subzone 22O), as
described in the application and Federal Register notice, subject to
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and
further subject to a restriction requiring that certain foreign-origin
textile and apparel products 1 must be admitted to the
subzone under privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) or domestic
status (19 CFR 146.43).
