[Docket No. 17-82]
50 FR 6024
February 13, 1985
Foreign-Trade Zone 46, Cincinnati, OH; Withdrawal of Application for Subzone
at Huffy Bicycle Plant, Celina, OH
TEXT: The Greater Cincinnati Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., an affiliate of the
Greater Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 46,
has requested the withdrawal, without prejudice, of its application to the
FTZ Board (the Board) for a subzone at the Huffy Corporation's bicycle
plant in Celina, Ohio. The application was filed by the Board in August 1982
(47 FR 35543, 8/16/82). It was opposed by a number of bicycle and bicycle
parts manufacturers, and was the subject of an industry impact study
requested by the Board from the Commerce Department's Office of Consumer
Goods.
The feasability of the proposal changed in late 1984, when the use of
foreign-trade zones for non-export operations involving bicycle component
parts was temporarily barred by section 231 of the Trade and Tariff Act of
1984, signed October 30, 1984. This prohibition is in effect until June 30,
1986.
As a result of the changed circumstances, the applicant was asked by
Huffy to withdraw the proposal. The request is approved, without prejudice,
and FTZ Board Docket 17-82 is closed.
Dated: February 8, 1985.
John J. DaPonte, Jr.,
Executive Secretary.
