Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1709]

Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; SICK, Inc. (Photo-
Electronic Industrial Sensors); Bloomington, MN

    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, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides 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,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 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,

[[Page 63811]]

and when the activity results in a significant public benefit and is in
the public interest;
    Whereas, the Greater Metropolitan Area Foreign Trade Zone
Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 119 (Minneapolis, Minnesota),
has made application to the Board for authority to establish a special-
purpose subzone at the photo-electronic industrial sensor manufacturing
and distribution facility of SICK, Inc., located in Bloomington,
Minnesota (FTZ Docket 49-2009, filed 11-10-2009);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
Federal Register (74 FR 59523, 11-18-2009) and the application has been
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; 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 the proposal is in the
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone
status for activity related to the manufacturing and distribution of

photo-electronic industrial sensors at the SICK, Inc., facility located
in Bloomington, Minnesota (Subzone 119G), as described in the
application and Federal Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the
Board's regulations, including Section 400.28.
