Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 957]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status the Gymboree Corporation; 
Apparel and Toys Warehousing/Distribution Dixon, 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:
    Wheras, 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 Sacramento-Yolo Port District (the 
Port of Sacramento), grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 143, for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the warehousing/
distribution (non-manufacturing) facility of The Gymboree Corporation, 
located in Dixon, California, was filed by the Board on October 24, 
1997, and notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (FTZ Docket 76-97, 62 FR 58939, 10-31-97); 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 143C) at the Gymboree Corporation facility in Dixon, 
California, at the location described in the application, subject to 
the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28. All 
quota merchandise shipped to the U.S. market from the subzone shall be 
subject to U.S. visa and quota requirements, as indicated in the 
application record.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of February 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Acting Executive Secretary.
