TEXT: Proceedings of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Washington, DC.
Resolution and Order
Pursuant to the authority granted in the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board has
adopted the following Resolution and Order:
The Board, having considered the matter, hereby orders:
After consideration of the application of the City of Salem Port
Authority, filed with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) on April 30,
1985, and amended on June 30, 1986, requesting a grant of authority for
establishing, operating, and maintaining a general-purpose foreign-trade
zone at sites in Salem and Millville, New Jersey, within the Philadelphia
Consolidated Customs port of entry, the Board, finding that the requirements
of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended, and the Board's regulations are
satisfied, and that the proposal is in the public interest, approves the
application.
As the proposal involves open space on which buildings may be constructed
by parties other than the grantee, this approval includes authority to the
grantee to permit the erection of such buildings, pursuant to @ 400.815 of
the Board's regulations, as are necessary to carry out the zone proposal,
providing that prior to its granting such permission it shall have the
concurrences of the local District Director of Customs, the U.S. Army
District Engineer, when appropriate, and the Board's Executive Secretary.
Further, the grantee shall notify the Board for approval prior to the
commencement of any manufacturing operations within the zone. The Secretary
of Commerce, as Chairman and Executive Officer of the Board, is hereby
authorized to issue a grant of authority and appropriate Board Order.
Grant To Establish, Operate, and Maintain a Foreign-Trade Zone in the

Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act "To provide
for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of foreign-trade zones in

commerce, and for other purposes," as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) (the Act),
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized and empowered to
grant to corporations the privilege of establishing, operating, and
maintaining foreign-trade zones in or adjacent to ports of entry under the
jurisdiction of the United States;
Whereas, the City of Salem Port Authority (the Grantee), has made
application (filed April 30, 1985, Docket 8-85, 50 FR 20816, and amended on
June 30, 1986, 51 FR 24427) in due and proper form to the Board, requesting

sites in Salem and Millville, New Jersey, within the Philadelphia
Consolidated Customs port of entry;
Whereas, notice of said application has been given and published, and
full opportunity has been afforded all interested parties to be heard; and,
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Act and the
Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) are satisfied;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the privilege of
establishing, operating, and maintaining a foreign-trade zone, designated
on the records of the Board as Zone No. 142 at the locations mentioned above
and more particularly described on the maps and drawings accompanying the

and restrictions of the Act and the regulations issued thereunder, to the
same extent as though the same were fully set forth herein, and also the
following express conditions and limitations:
Operation of the foreign-trade zone shall be commenced by the Grantee
within a reasonable time from the date of issuance of the grant, and prior

the performance of their official duties.
The grant does not include authority for manufacturing operations, and

any manufacturing operations within the zone.
The grant shall not be construed to relieve the Grantee from liability
for injury or damage to the person or property of others occasioned by the
construction, operation, or maintenance of said zone, and in no event shall
the United States be liable.
The grant is further subject to settlement locally by the District
Director of Customs and the Army District Engineer with the Grantee
regarding compliance with their respective requirements for the protection
of the revenue of the United States and the installation of suitable
facilities.
