Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act "To provide
for the establishment 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 qualified corporations
the privilege of establishing foreign-trade zones in or adjacent to U.S.
Customs port of entry;
Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR part 400) provide for the
establishment of subzones when existing zone facilities cannot serve the
specific use involved, and where a significant public benefit will result;
Whereas, the Port of Houston Authority, Grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone No.
84, has made application (filed 2-19-91, FTZ Docket 11-91, 56 FR 9667,
03-07-91) to the Board for authority to establish a subzone at the heating
and cooling equipment manufacturing plant of Goodman Manufacturing
Corporation in Houston, Texas;
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 would be satisfied and that the proposal would be in
the public interest if approval were given subject to the restrictions in
the resolution accompanying this action;
Now, therefore, in accordance with the application filed February 19, 1991,
the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone at the Goodman
Manufacturing Corporation plant in Houston, Texas, designated on the
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Subzone 84G, at the location

resolution accompanying this action, and to the Act and the Board's
regulations (as revised, 56 FR 50790- 50808, 10-8-91), including Section
400.28.
