[Order No. 1758]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 51 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Duluth, MN

    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 Duluth Seaway Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 51, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 58-2010, 
filed 10/1/2010, amended 4/4/2011) for authority to reorganize under 
the ASF with a service area of Carlton County and portions of Itasca, 
Lake, and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, in and adjacent to the Duluth 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 51's existing 
Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 61696, 10/6/2010) 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 51 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, and 
to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 2 if not activated by May 31, 2016.
