Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act ``To

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

establish special-purpose subzone status at the distribution/processing
facility of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., located in Bulloch County, Georgia,
was filed by the Board on July 15, 1994, and notice inviting public
comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 27-94, 59 FR
39234, 8/2/94); and,
Whereas, the application includes a request for authority to
assemble/process stereo systems and camera kits under zone procedures;

Now, Therefore, the Board hereby authorizes the establishment of a
