Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior notice
and an opportunity for public comments
are not required by the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other law for rules
concerning grants, benefits, and

following Order:
Whereas, the Foreign–Trade Zones
Act provides for ‘‘...the establishment...

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15
