    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 Greater Metropolitan Area Foreign Trade Zone 
Commission, grantee of FTZ 119, submitted an application to the 
Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board (the Board) for authority to add 
proposed Sites 7 and 8 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, adjacent to 
the Minneapolis-St. Paul Customs and Border Protection port of entry 
(FTZ Docket 23-2009, filed 05/21/09);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (74 FR 26652, 6/3/09), 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 is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 119 is approved, subject to the FTZ 
Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and subject 
to the 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 June 30, 2017 for Sites 7 and 8 where no 
activity has occurred under FTZ procedures before that date.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of June 2010.
