Grant of Authority To Establish a Foreign-Trade Subzone in Onondaga
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
jurisdication of the United States;
Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR 400.304) provide for the
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities
cannot serve the specific use involved, and where a significant public
benefit will result;
Whereas, the County of Onondaga, New York, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone
No. 90, has made application (filed May 2, 1986, Docket 15-86, 51 FR 17506)
in due and proper form to the Board for authority to establish a special-
purpose subzone at the automobile transmission plant of Chrysler Corporation
in Onondaga County, New York, adjacent to the Syracuse Customs port of
entry;
Whereas, notice of said application has been given and published, and
full opportunity has been afforded all interested parties to be heard; and
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Act and the
Board's regulations are satisfied;
Now, therefore, in accordance with the application filed May 2, 1986, the
Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone at Chrysler's plant
in Onondaga County, designated on the records of the Board as Foreign-Trade
Subzone No. 90B at the location mentioned above and more particularly
described on the maps and drawings accompanying the application, said grant
of authority being subject to the provisions 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:
Activation of the subzone shall be commenced within a reasonable time
from the date of issuance of the grant, and prior thereto, any necessary
permits shall be obtained from Federal, State, and municipal authorities.
Officers and employees of the United States shall have free and
unrestricted access to and throughout the foreign-trade subzone in the
performance of their official duties.
The grant shall not be construed to relieve responsible parties from
liability for injury or damage to the person or property of others
occasioned by the construction, operation, or maintenance of said 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 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
be signed and its seal to be affixed hereto by its Chairman and Executive
