Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Baker Hughes, Inc. (Barite 
Milling), Corpus Christi, 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, 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 
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 Port of Port of Corpus Christi Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 122, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish a special-purpose subzone at the barite milling facility 
of Baker Hughes, Inc., located in Corpus Christi, Texas (FTZ Docket 15-
2008, filed 2/25/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 12949, 3/11/08); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds the requirements of the FTZ Act and the 
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 barite milling at the facility of Baker 
Hughes, Inc., located in Corpus Christi, Texas (Subzone 122Q), as 
described in the application and Federal Register notice, and subject
