TEXT: Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-8lu), and the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Regulations (15 CFR Part 400), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board)
adopts the following order:
Whereas, the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone No. 66, Wilmington, North Carolina, has applied to the Board for
authority to expand its general-purpose zone to include the entire
Wilmington port terminal complex (390 acres), within the Wilmington Customs

Whereas, the application was filed on July 18, 1986, and notice inviting
public comment was given in the Federal Register on July 30, 1986 (Docket
No. 25-86, 51 FR 27232);
Whereas, an examiner's committee has investigated the application in
accordance with the Board's regulations and recommends approval based on a

Zones Act, as amended, and the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that
approval of the application is in the public interest;
