Davisco International, Inc., St. Peter, Nicollet, and Le Sueur, Minnesota
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, an application from the Greater Metropolitan Foreign Trade Zone
Commission, Grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone No. 119, for authority to
establish a special-purpose subzone for export activity at the intermediate
diary products manufacturing facilities of Davisco International, Inc., in
St. Peter and Nicollet, Minnesota, was filed by the Board on January 10,
1992, and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register
(FTZ Docket 1-92, 57 FR 3163, 1-28-92);
Whereas, the applicant amended the application on October 6, 1992, to
request subzone status for an additional Davisco plant site located in Le
Sueur, Minnesota (57 FR 47042, 10-14-92); 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 for
export processing is in the public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a subzone
(Subzone 119A) at the Davisco International, Inc., facilities in St. Peter,
Nicollet, and Le Sueur, Minnesota, at the four locations described in the
application, subject to the Act and the Board's regulations (as revised, 56

requirement that all foreign-origin dairy products admitted to the subzone
shall be reexported.
