Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2060]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 158 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Vicksburg/Jackson, Mississippi

    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 Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 158, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-22-2018, docketed April 10, 2018) for authority to reorganize 
under the ASF with a service area of Claiborne, Hinds, Madison, 
Marshall, Pontotoc, Rankin, Tate, Warren and Washington Counties, 
Mississippi and portions of Lee and Tishomingo Counties, Mississippi, 
in and adjacent to the Vicksburg and Greenville (Mississippi), Memphis 
(Tennessee) and Huntsville (Alabama) Customs and Border Protection 
ports of entry, and FTZ 158's existing Sites 2, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 
and 18 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 17144, April 18, 2018) 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 158 under the ASF is approved, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone, and to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 if not 
activated within five years from the month of approval.

    Dated: September 6, 2018.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman,
