(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

establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities
cannot serve the specific use involved;
Whereas, an application from the Little Rock Port Authority on
behalf of the Industrial Development Commission of the State of
Arkansas, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 14, for authority to establish
special-purpose subzone status at the steel pipe fabrication facility
of Mid States Pipe Fabricating, Inc., in El Dorado, Arkansas, was filed
by the Board on March 25, 1996, and notice inviting public comment was
given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 25-96, 61 FR 15216, 4/5/96;
amended, 3/12/97); and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
examiner's report, and finds 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 14C) at the Mid States Pipe Fabricating, Inc., plant
in El Dorado, Arkansas, at the location described in the application,
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including
Sec. 400.28, and further subject to a restriction requiring that
foreign status merchandise admitted to the subzone shall be exported.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of June 1997.
