Approving Application of the Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, Inc.,
for Foreign-Trade Zone in North Haven, CT
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 Greater New Haven Chamber
of Commerce, Inc., filed with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) on
March 7, 1988, requesting a grant of authority for establishing, operating,
and maintaining a general-purpose foreign-trade zone in North Haven,
Connecticut, within the New Haven 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 Section
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 Officer of the Board, is hereby
authorized to issue a grant of authority and appropriate Board Order.
Grant of Authority to Establish, Operate, and Maintain a Foreign-Trade Zone
in North Haven, CT
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 Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, Inc., (the Grantee)
as made application (filed March 7, 1988, FTZ Docket 16-88, 53 FR 9132) in
due and proper form to the Board, requesting the establishment, operation,
and maintenance of a foreign-trade zone in North Haven, Connecticut, within
the New Haven 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 (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. 162, 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 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, any necessary permits shall be obtained 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 for approval prior to the commencement
of any manufacturing 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 therefor.
The grant is further subject to settlement locally by the District
Director of Customs and 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
Officer at Washington, DC, this 2d day of October, 1989, pursuant to the
