    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

the zone to include seven sites in the Piedmont Triad area and to

adjacent to the Winston-Salem Customs and Border Protection port of

pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the

Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal, as amended, 
is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application, as amended, to expand FTZ 230 is approved, subject 
to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28,

before that date.
