[Order No. 2137]


Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under the Alternative Site 
Framework; Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana

    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, the Plaquemines Port, Harbor & Terminal District (the 
Grantee), a Louisiana public corporation, made application to the Board 
(B-9-2022, docketed March 22, 2022) requesting the establishment of a 
foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area of Plaquemines 
Parish, Louisiana, within and adjacent to the New Orleans Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry, and proposed Site 1 would be 
categorized as a magnet site;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 17268-17269, March 28, 2022) and the application was 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopted the findings and recommendations of the 
examiners' report, and found that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Therefore, on January 23, 2023, the Board granted to the Grantee 
the privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 300, as described in the 
application, and 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.

    Dated: January 25, 2023.
