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

Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 26, submitted an application to the Board for authority to 
reorganize and expand its zone to remove acreage from Site 2, delete 
Site 8 in its entirety, and add eight new sites (proposed Sites 11-18) 
in the Atlanta, Georgia, area, within and adjacent to the Atlanta 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry (FTZ Docket 55-2008, filed 
10/6/08);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 60676-60677, 10/14/08; correction, 73 FR 63675, 10/27/
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 recommendation 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 Site 2, Site 8 and Sites 11-17, is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize and expand FTZ 26 is approved in part

Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and to the 
Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the overall general-
purpose zone project, and further subject to a sunset provision that 
would terminate authority on August 31, 2014, for Sites 11-17 where no 
activity has occurred under FTZ procedures before that date.
