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 North Carolina Department of Commerce, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 57, submitted an application to the Board for 
authority to expand its zone to include an additional site (Site 16) in 
the Charlotte, North Carolina area, adjacent to the Charlotte Customs 
and Border Protection port of entry (FTZ Docket 62-2008, filed 10/28/
08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 65583, 11/4/08), and the application has been processed 
pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations;
    Whereas, on April 24, 2009, the grant of authority was reissued to 
the Charlotte Regional Partnership, Inc. (Board Order 1613, 74 FR 
21622, 05/8/09); 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 is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 57 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 16 on 
August 31, 2014, if no activity has occurred under FTZ procedures 
before that date.
    Signed at Washington, DC, this 5th day of August 2009.
