Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1742]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 144 Under 
Alternative Site Framework, Brunswick, 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) (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 Brunswick and Glynn County Development Authority, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 144, submitted an application to the 
Board (FTZ Docket 25-2010, filed 04/01/2010) for authority to 
reorganize and expand under the ASF with a service area of Appling, 
Atkinson, Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Coffee, Glynn, Jeff Davis, 
McIntosh, Ware and Wayne Counties, Georgia, within and adjacent to the 
Brunswick Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 144's 
existing Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites, and the 
grantee proposes one initial usage-driven site (Site 3);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 17898-17899, 04/08/2010) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and 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 and reorganize FTZ 144 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 Site 2 if not activated by February 29, 
2016, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites 
that would terminate authority for Site 3 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by February 28, 
2014.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of February 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
