Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1814]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 124 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Gramercy, Louisiana

    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 1170-1173, 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 Port of South Louisiana, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
124, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 44-2011, filed 
6/24/2011) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service 
area of St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, St. James, La Fourche and 
St. Mary Parishes in Louisiana, within and adjacent to the Gramercy 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 124's existing Site 1 
would be removed from the zone project and Sites 2, 3 and 4 would be 
categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 38356-38357, 6/30/2011) 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 
the 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 124 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 Sites 3 and 4 if not activated by January 31, 
2017.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of January 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
