The Board, having considered the matter, hereby orders:

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status
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 to grant to corporations the privilege of establishing
foreign-trade zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs ports of entry;
Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR part 400) provide for the
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities
cannot serve the specific use involved;
Whereas, the Board of Harbor Commissioners of the City of Long Beach,
California, grantee of FTZ 50, has made application (filed 5-24-91, FTZ
Docket 30-91, 56 FR 25661, 6-5-91) to the Board for authority to establish
a special- purpose subzone at the high density digital tape recording
equipment manufacturing plant of Datatape, Incorporated, in Pasadena,
California;
Whereas, notice of said application has been given in the Federal Register
and public comment has been invited; and
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the Act and the
Board's regulations are satisfied and that approval of the application is
in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone
at the Datatape, Incorporated, plant in Pasadena, California, designated on
the records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Subzone 50D, at the location
described in the application, subject to the Act and the Board's
Regulations (as revised, 56 FR 50790-50808, 10/8/91), including section
400.28.
