Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1736]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 104 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Savannah, GA

    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 Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09; 
75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/10) as an option for the establishment or 
reorganization of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Savannah Airport Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 104, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 51-2010, 
filed 8/26/2010) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a 
service area of the Georgia counties of Bulloch, Bryan, Chatham, 
Effingham, Evans, Liberty, Long, and Screven in and adjacent to the 
Savannah Customs and Border Protection port of entry; FTZ 104's 
existing, new, and renumbered Sites 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 
16 would be categorized as magnet sites; and the grantee proposes three 
initial usage-driven sites (Sites 9, 10, and 13);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 53637-53638, 9/1/2010) 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 is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 104 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, to 
a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 if not 
activated by January 31, 2016, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision 
for usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 9, 10, 
and 13 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide 
customs purpose by January 31, 2014.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12th day of January 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
