[Order No. 1312]


Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 82; Mobile, AL, Area

    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 City of Mobile, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 82, 
submitted an application to the Board for authority to expand FTZ 82-
Site 1 and to include twelve additional sites (Sites 2-13) in the 
Mobile, Alabama, area, within the Mobile Customs port of entry (FTZ 
Docket 19-2003; filed 4/11/03);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (68 FR 19498, 4/21/03) 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 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal, with respect 
to Sites 1 through 12, is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 82 (Sites 1-12) is approved (but not 
proposed Site 13), subject to the Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Sec.  400.28, subject to the Board's standard 2,000-acre 
activation limit for the overall zone project, and further subject to a 
sunset provision that would terminate authority for the proposed sites 
on January 31, 2011, unless the sites are activated under FTZ 
procedures.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 19th day of December, 2003.
