Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2089]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 213 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Fort Myers, 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 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 Lee County Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 213, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-46-2019, 
docketed July 25, 2019) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with 
a service area of Charlotte, Collier and Lee Counties, Florida, in and 
adjacent to the Fort Myers, Florida U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry, and FTZ 213's existing Sites 1 through 7 would be 
categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (84 FR 37237-37238, July 31, 2019) 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 213 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 7 if not activated within five 
years from the month of approval.

    Dated: December 9, 2019.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman, 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
