Resolution and Order Approving the Application of the County of Jefferson,
NY, for a Foreign-Trade Zone and a Special-Purpose Subzone; Resolution and
Order
TEXT: 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 applications of the County of Jefferson, New
York, filed with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) on January 4,
and February 10, 1984, requesting a grant of authority for establishing,
operating, and maintaining a general-purpose foreign-trade zone in
Jefferson County, and a special-purpose subzone for the manufacturing
plant of New York Air Brake Company in Watertown, New York, adjacent to the
Alexandria Bay 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 proposals are in the public
interest, approves the applications.
As the proposals involve 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 proposals, 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 the general-purpose 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.

(the Act,), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized and
empowered to grant to corporations the privilege of establishing,

Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the privilege of

The Grantee shall notify the Executive Secretary of the Board for
approval prior to the commencement of any manufacturing operations within
the general-purpose 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 or subzone, and in no
event shall the United States be liable therefor.
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
