[Order No. 2124]

Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 218 Under Alternative Site Framework; St. Lucie County, Florida

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 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 adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of zones;

[top] Whereas, St. Lucie County, Florida, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 218,

submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-64-2021, docketed September 17, 2021) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties, Florida, in and adjacent to the Fort Pierce U.S. Customs and Border Protection Customs Station, and FTZ 218's existing Sites 1, 2, 3 and 4 would be categorized as magnet sites;

Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (86 FR 52875-52876, September 23, 2021) 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 examiners' report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations are satisfied;

Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:

The application to reorganize FTZ 218 under the ASF is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the zone, and to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Sites 2, 3 and 4 if not activated within five years from the month of approval.

Dated: February 22, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairperson, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
