the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone at SMC

unrestricted access to and throughout the foreign-trade subzone in the
performance of their official duties.

and in no event shall the United States be liable therefor.

Director of Customs and District Army 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.
In witness whereof, the Foreign-Trade Zones Board has caused its name to
