May 18, 1988
Disapproval of Application of the Rhode Island Port Authority for Subzone
Status for Pawtucket Fasteners, Inc., Pawtucket, RI
TEXT: Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Regulations (15 CFR Part 400), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board)
adopts the following order:
WHEREAS, the Rhode Island Port Authority and Economic Development
Corporation, Grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone No. 105, has made applications
(filed October 23, 1985, FTZ Doc. 40-85, 50 FR 46678) to the Board for
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the stainless steel
fastener manufacturing plant of Pawtucket Fasteners, Inc., In Pawtucket,
Rhode Island;
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, having reviewed the proposal in the light of the
Government's steel policy and the special import relief program on certain
stainless steel mill products, has determined that approval of the proposal
would not be in the public interest because it would tend to encourage
imports of stainless steel rod and bar and result in a net negative
economic impact;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board hereby orders:
That the application filed October 23, 1985 (FTZ Doc. 40-85) is
disapproved.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of May, 1988.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, Chairman,
Committee of Alternates Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Attest: John J. Da Ponte, Jr., Executive Secretary.
