Wisconsin; for a Foreign-Trade Zone in the Green Bay, Wisconsin Area;
Proceedings of the Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Washington, DC; Resolution
and Order
TEXT: 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 (the Board) adopts the following Resolution and Order:
The Board, having considered the matter, hereby orders:
After consideration of the application of Brown County, Wisconsin, filed
with the Foreign-Trade Zones Board on April 14, 1989, requesting a grant of
authority for establishing, operating, and maintaining a general-purpose
foreign-trade zone in Brown County, Wisconsin, within the Green Bay 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 except for
that part of proposed Parcel C, which is located outside the boundary of
the Village of Ashwaubenon (designated C-2 in examiners report).
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 @ 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 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,
a Chairman and Executive Officer of the Board, is hereby authorized to
issue a grant of authority and appropriate Board Order.
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, Brown County, Wisconsin (the Grantee), has made application
(filed April 14, 1989, FTZ Docket 7-89, 54 FR 17801, 4/25/89) in due and
proper form to the Board, requesting the establishment, operation, and
maintenance of a foreign-trade zone in Brown County, Wisconsin, within the
Green Bay 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, 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 Foreign-Trade Zone No. 167, at the location
mentioned above and more particularly described on the maps and drawings
accompanying the application in Exhibits IX and X (with the exception of
Site C-2), 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 the 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 Zone 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 23rd day of August, 1990, pursuant to Order
of the Board.
Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
