Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2068]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 25 Under 
Alternative Site Framework, Broward County, 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, Broward County, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 25, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-36-2018, docketed 
May 30, 2018) for authority to reorganize and expand under the ASF with 
a service area of Broward County, in and adjacent to the Port 
Everglades Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 25's 
existing Sites 1 (as modified), 2 through 11, and 13 through 20 would 
be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 26256, June 6, 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 and expand FTZ 25 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 2 through 11 and 13 through 20 if not 
activated within five 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, 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
