[Order No. 1771]
Grant of Authority;

the Alternative Site Framework, Terrebonne Parish, LA
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 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) in
December 2008 (74 FR 1170-1173, 01/12/2009 (correction 74 FR 3987,
01/
22/2009); 75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/2010) as an option for the
establishment or reorganization of general-purpose zones;
Whereas, the Houma-Terrebonne Airport Commission
(the Grantee) has
made application to the Board (FTZ Docket 69-2010, filed
12/6/2010)
requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF
with
a service area of Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, adjacent to the
Morgan
City Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and proposed
Sites 1
and 2 would be categorized
as magnet sites;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been
given in the
Federal Register (75 FR 77614-77615, 12/13/2010) 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
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in
the
public interest;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the
Grantee the
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on
the
records as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 279, as described in
the
[[Page 43654]]
application, subject to the
FTZ Act and the Board's regulations,
including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre
activation
limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, and to an
ASF
sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority
for
Site 2 if not activated within five years from the date of
approval.
Signed
at Washington, DC, this 7th day of July 2011.
