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

    Whereas, CODEZOL, C.D., grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 163, 
submitted an application to the Board for authority to expand its zone 
to include an additional site (Site 10) in the Ponce, Puerto Rico area, 
adjacent to the Ponce Customs and Border Protection port of entry (FTZ 
Docket 58-2008, filed 10/08/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 61780, 10/17/08; correction 73 FR 65583, 11/4/08), 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

Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 163 is approved, subject to the FTZ 
Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and subject 
to a sunset provision that would terminate authority for Site 10 on
