Resolution and Order Approving the Application of the County of Monroe, for
a Foreign-Trade Zone in New York
TEXT: Proceedings of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Washington, DC.
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 Zones Board has
adopted the following Resolution and Order:
The Board, having considered the matter, hereby orders: After
consideration of the application of the County of Monroe, New York, filed
with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) on January 4, 1984 (Docket
1-84) and amended on September 12, 1986 (Docket 30-86), requesting a grant
of authority for establishing, operating, and maintaining a general-purpose
foreign-trade zone in Monroe County, New York, within the Rochester 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 involves 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 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 for approval prior to the
commencement of any manufacturing operation within the zone. The Secretary
of Commerce, as Chairman and Executive of the Board, is hereby authorized
to issue a grant of authority and appropriate Board Order.
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Washington, DC
Grant to Establish, Operate, and Maintain a Foreign-Trade Zone in Monroe
County, NY
Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act "To provide
for the establishment, operation, and maintenance of foreign-trade zones in
ports of entry of the United States, to expedite and encourage foreign
commerce, and for other purposes," as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) (the Act),
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized and empowered to
grant to corporations the privilege of establishing, operating, and
maintaining foreign-trade zones in or adjacent to ports of entry under the
jurisdiction of the United States;
Whereas, the County of Monroe, New York (the Grantee), has made
application (filed January 4, 1984, Docket No. 1-84, 49 FR 1261, and amended
on September 12, 1986, Docket No. 30-86, 51 FR 34478) in due and proper
form to the Board, requesting the establishment, operation and maintenance
of a foreign-trade zone in Monroe County, New York, within the Rochester
Customs port of entry;
Whereas, notice of said application has been given and published, and
full opportunity has been afforded all intested parties to be heard; and,
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Act and the
Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) are satisfied;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the privilege of
establishing, operating, and maintaining a foreign-trade zone, designated on
the records of the Board as Zone No. 141 at the location mentioned above and
more particularly described on the maps and drawings accompanying the
application in Exhibits IX and X, subject to the provisions, conditions,
and restrictions of the Act and the regulations issued thereunder, to the
same extent as though the same were fully set forth herein, and also to the
following express conditions and limitations:
Operation of the foreign-trade zone shall be commenced by the Grantee
within a reasonable time from the date of issuance of the grant, and prior
thereto the Grantee shall obtain all necessary permits from Federal, State,
and municipal authorities.
The Grantee shall allow officers and employees of the United States free
and unrestricted access to and throughout the foreign-trade zone site in
the performance of their official duties.
The grant does not include authority for manufacturing operations, and
the Grantee shall notify the Board of approval prior to the commencement of
any manufacturing or assembly operations within the 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, and in no event shall
the United States be liable thereof.
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
facilities.
In witness whereof, the Foreign-Trade Zones Board has caused its name to
be signed and its seal to be affixed hereto by its Chairman and Executive
