Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2049]


Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 241; (Expansion of Service Area) 
Under Alternative Site Framework; Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    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 Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act provides for `` . . . 
the establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the City of Fort Lauderdale, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
241, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-49-2017, 
docketed August 2, 2017) for authority to expand the service area of 
the zone to include a portion of Broward County known as the Dania Cut, 
and to expand Subzone 241A, as described in the application, adjacent 
to the Port Everglades Customs and Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (82 FR 37192, August 9, 2017) 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;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 241 to expand the service area 
and to expand Subzone 241A under the ASF is approved, subject to the 
FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, and to 
the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the zone.
