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 through 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 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 Greater Cincinnati Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 46, has made application (filed July 17, 1987, 52 FR
29714) in due and proper form to the Board for authority to establish a
special-purpose subzone at the storage and distribution facilities of U.S.
Shoe Corporation at its Eastwood Complex in Cincinnati, Ohio, within the
Cincinnati 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 July 17, 1987,
the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone, at the storage
and distribution facilities of U.S. Shoe Corporation in Cincinnati, Ohio,
designated on the records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Subzone No. 46E 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, and to the limitations described in the resolution
accompanying this action, 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 therefore.
The grant is further subject to settlement locally by the District
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 be signed and its seal to be affixed hereto by its Chairman and

December 1988, pursuant to Order of the Board.
