Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2070]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 29 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Louisville, Kentucky

    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-

[[Page 54710]]

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 Louisville & Jefferson County Riverport Authority, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 29, submitted an application to the Board 
(FTZ Docket B-23-2018, docketed April 11, 2018, amended June 15, 2018) 
for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of 
Anderson, Breckinridge, Bullitt, Butler, Carroll, Crittenden, Daviess, 
Franklin, Hancock, Henderson, Henry, Hopkins, Jefferson, McLean, Meade, 
Muhlenberg, Nelson, Ohio, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, Trimble, Union, 
Webster, and Woodford Counties, in and adjacent to the Louisville, 
Kentucky and Evansville, Indiana Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry, FTZ 29's existing Sites 1, 4, 7, 9, 11 and 15 would be 
categorized as magnet sites, and existing Sites 5, 6, 8, 13 and 14 as 
usage-driven sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 17142-17143, 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 29 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, to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 4, 7, 9, 11 and 15 if not activated within five 
years from the month of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for 
usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 5, 6, 8, 13 
and 14 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide 
customs purpose within three years from the month of approval.

    Dated: October 25, 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,
