December 15, 1989
Approval for Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 106; Oklahoma City, OK
TEXT: Pursuant to the authority granted in the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 USC 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
adopts the following Resolution and Order:
Whereas, the Port Authority of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 106, has applied to the Board for authority to expand
its general-purpose zone at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City,
within the Oklahoma City Customs port of entry, and for authority for
manufacturing within the zone on behalf of the dialysis machine
manufacturing operation of Organon Teknika Corporation (OTC);
Whereas, the application was accepted for filing on July 15 1987, and
notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register on July
31, 1987 (Docket 8-87, 52 FR 28581);
Whereas, an examiners committee has investigated the application in
accordance with the Board's regulations and recommends approval;
Whereas, the expansion is necessary to improve and expand zone services
in the Oklahoma City area; and
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Foreign-Trade
Zones Act, as amended, and the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and
that approval of the application would be in the public interest, provided
approval is subject to a restriction requiring OTC to elect privileged
foreign status on all foreign components admitted to its zone manufacturing
operation;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
That, subject to the foregoing restriction on the OTC activity, the
Grantee is authorized to expand its zone in accordance with the application
filed July 15, 1987. The Grantee shall notify the Board for approval prior
to the commencement of any additional manufacturing or assembly
operations. The authority given in this Order is subject to settlement
locally by the District Director of Customs and the District Army Engineer
regarding compliance with their respective requirements relating to
foreign-trade zones.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of December, 1989.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, Chairman,
Committee of Alternates, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
