Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1420]

 
Grant of Authority for Subzone Status, IKEA Wholesale Inc. (Home 
Furnishings and Accessories), Lebec, CA

    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 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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Board of Harbor Commissioners of the City of Los 
Angeles (California), grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 202, has made 
application to the Board for authority to establish special-purpose 
subzone status at the warehousing and distribution facility (home 
furnishings and accessories) of IKEA Wholesale Inc., located in Lebec, 
California (FTZ Docket 6-2005, filed 1/21/2005);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (70 FR 5605-5606, 2/3/2005); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application would be in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status for distribution activity involving home furnishings and 
accessories at the warehousing/distribution facility of IKEA Wholesale 
Inc., located in Lebec,
