Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2128]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 221 Under Alternative Site 
Framework, Mesa, Arizona

    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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the City of Mesa, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 221, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-10-2022, docketed 
March 28, 2022) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a 
service area of the City of Mesa, Arizona, adjacent to the Phoenix 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 221's existing 
Site 1 would be categorized as a magnet site;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 19475, April 4, 2022) 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 221 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.

    Dated: July 15, 2022.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate 
Chairperson, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
