Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1724]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Lam Research Corporation 
(Wafer Fabrication Equipment) Fremont, Newark, and Livermore, 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 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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the City of San Jose, California, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 18, has made application to the Board for authority to establish a 
special-purpose subzone at the wafer fabrication equipment 
manufacturing and distribution facilities of Lam Research Corporation, 
located in Fremont, Newark, and Livermore, California, (FTZ Docket 36-
2010, filed 5/18/2010);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (75 FR 29722-29723, 5/27/2010) 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 
wafer fabrication equipment at the facilities of Lam Research 
Corporation, located in Fremont, Newark, and Livermore, California 
(Subzone 18F), as described in the application and Federal Register 
notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the
