[Order No. 2085]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 263, (Expansion of Service 
Area) Under Alternative Site Framework, Lewiston-Auburn, Maine

    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 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 Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 263, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-79-2018, docketed December 19, 2018) for authority to expand 
the service area of the zone to include York County, Maine, as 
described in the application, adjacent to the Portland, Maine Customs 
and Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 66675, December 27, 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 263 to expand the service area 
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.

    Dated: July 25, 2019.
