Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 2155]
Approval for Production Authority; Foreign-Trade Zone 186;
Flemish Master Weavers; (Machine-Made Woven Area Rugs); Waterville,
Maine
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 (FTZ) 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 FTZ 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 City of Waterville, Maine, grantee of FTZ 186, has
requested production authority on behalf of Flemish Master Weavers
(FMW), within Subzone 186A in Sanford, Maine (B-14-2023, docketed
February 28, 2023);
Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
Federal Register (88 FR 13778, March 6, 2023) 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
the Board's regulations would be satisfied, and that the proposal would
be in the public interest if subject to the restrictions listed below;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
The application for production authority under zone procedures
within Subzone 186A on behalf of Flemish Master Weavers, as described
in the
[[Page 77550]]
application and Federal Register notice, is approved, subject to the
FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including section 400.13, and
further subject to the following restrictions:

nonprivileged foreign (NPF) status (19 CFR 146.42) is limited to 2.6
million kilograms; and,
2. approval is limited to a period of five years, subject to
extension upon review.
