Jersey, Within the New York Customs Port of Entry
TEXT: Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18,
1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Regulations (15 CFR Part 400), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board)
adopts the following order:
Whereas, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone No. 49, has applied to the Board for authority to expand
its general-purpose zone located in Newark and Elizabeth, New Jersey, to
include the entire Port Newark/Elizabeth Port Authority Marine Terminal,
except for a 124-acre parcel in the southwest corner of the 2,230-acre
complex, within the New York Customs port of entry;
Whereas, the application was accepted for filing on January 11, 1982,
and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register;
Whereas, an examiners committee has investigated the application in
accordance with the Board's regulations and recommends approval;
Whereas, the expansion is necessary to help the port authority fully
serve the needs of firms using the marine terminal complex, including those
involved in reexport operations; and,
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Foreign-Trade
Zone Act, as amended, and the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that
approval of the application is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
That the Grantee is authorized to expand its zone in accordance with the
application filed January 11, 1982, except for a 124-acre parcel withdrawn
by the applicant in February 1983. The Grantee shall notify the Executive
Secretary of the Board for approval prior to the commencement of any
manufacturing operations. The authority given in this Order is subject to
