DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
[Order No. 722]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Microwave Networks, Inc., 
(Microwave Radio Manufacturing Plant); Houston, TX

    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, 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 
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;
    Whereas, an application from the Port of Houston Authority, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 84, for authorization for special-purpose subzone 
status primarily for export activity at the microwave radio 
manufacturing plant of Microwave Networks, Inc., in Houston, Texas, was 
filed by the Board on April 29, 1994, and notice inviting public 
comment was given in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 17-94, 59 FR 
25445, 5/16/94); and,
    Whereas, the Board has found 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 84L) at the plant site of Microwave Networks, Inc., in 
[[Page 2378]] Houston, Texas, at the location described in the 
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec. 400.28, and subject to a restriction requiring that 
privileged foreign status (19 CFR 146.41) shall be elected on all 
foreign merchandise admitted to the subzone, as indicated in the 
application.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 28th day of December 1994.
Barbara R. Stafford,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
