Pursuant to its authority under 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 Order:
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
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs ports of entry;

Whereas, an application from the Industrial Board of Blount County,
Tennessee, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 148, for authority to
establish special-purpose subzone status at the pharmaceutical
manufacturing plant of SmithKline Beecham Corporation, in Bristol,

inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket
55-93, 58 FR 61065, 11-19-93); and,
Whereas, the Board has found that the requirements of the FTZ Act
and 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 (Subzone 148A) at the plant site of SmithKline Beecham
Corporation, in Bristol, Tennessee, at the location described in the
