Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1533]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status NACCO Materials Handling 
Group, Inc. (Forklift Truck Components) Sulligent, AL

    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 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 Birmingham, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 98, 
has made application for authority to establish special-purpose subzone 
status at the forklift truck components manufacturing facility of NACCO 
Materials Handling Group, Inc., located in Sulligent, Alabama (Docket 
37-2006, filed 8-22-2006);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (71 FR 51183, 8-29-2006); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation 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 grants authority for subzone 
status for activity related to the production of forklift truck 
components, engines, and drive axles at the manufacturing facility of 
NACCO Materials Handling Group, Inc., located in Sulligent, Alabama 
(Subzone 98D), as described in the application and Federal Register 
notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including 
Section 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 27th day of November 2007.
