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 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 Dayton Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 100, has made application (filed September 28, 1987, FTZ
Docket 18-87, 52 FR 37809), in due and proper form to the Board for
authority to establish a special-purpose subzone at the motor vehicle
components manufacturing plant of Chrysler Corporation in Dayton, Ohio,
within the Dayton 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 September 28,
1987, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone at the
Chrysler plant in Dayton, designated on the records of the Board as
Foreign-Trade Subzone No. 100C 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 regulations issued thereunder, 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 the Grantee shall
obtain all necessary permits 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 the Grantee 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 therefor.
The grant is further subject to settlement locally by the District
Director of Customs and the 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 has caused its name to be
signed and its seal to be affixed hereto by its Chairman and Executive
