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 Zone Board
has adopted the following Resolution and Order:
The Board, having considered the matter, hereby orders:
After consideration of the application of Clinton County, New York,
filed with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) on September 6, 1979,
requesting a grant of authority for establishing, operating, and
maintaining a general-purpose foreign-trade zone within the County,
adjacent to the Champlain-Rouses Point 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 includes industrial park and 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 Section 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's Executive Secretary for approval prior to the
commencement of any manufacturing operation within either zone site. 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.
