Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1372]

 
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Tumi, Inc. (Luggage), 
Vidalia, GA

    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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Savannah Airport Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade

special-purpose subzone at the luggage warehousing and distribution 
facility of Tumi, Inc., located in Vidalia, Georgia (FTZ Docket 26-
2004, filed 6/16/04, as amended 8/12/04);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (69 FR 34993, 6/23/04 and 69 FR 51630, 8/20/04); 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, as amended, is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the luggage distribution facility of Tumi, Inc., located in 
Vidalia, Georgia (Subzone 104D), at the location described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations,
