[Order No. 1693]


Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 163 Ponce, Puerto Rico, 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, CODEZOL, C.D., grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 163, 
submitted an application to the Board for authority to expand its zone 
to include a site at the Yaucono Industrial Park (Site 12) in Ponce, 
Puerto Rico, within the Ponce Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry (FTZ Docket 17-2010, filed 3/8/10);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 12730-12731, 3/17/10) 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 (including the renumbering of Rio Piedras 
Distribution Center located within existing Site 3 as Site 13), 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 163 is approved, subject to the FTZ 
Act and the Board's regulations, including Sec.  400.28, and subject to 
a sunset provision that would terminate authority on June 30, 2015, for 
Site 12 if no activity has occurred under FTZ procedures before that 
date.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 8 day of July 2010.
