DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 2114]
Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 76 Under Alternative Site
Framework, Bridgeport, Connecticut
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 Bridgeport Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade
Zone 76, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-24-2021,
docketed March 19, 2021) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with
a service area of Fairfield and Litchfield Counties as well as a
portion of New Haven County, Connecticut, in and adjacent to the
Bridgeport Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 76's
existing Site 5 would be categorized as a magnet site, and existing
Subzone 76A would become a subzone under the ASF;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (86 FR 15887, 3/25/2021) 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 76 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, to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate
authority for Site 5 if not activated within five years from the month
of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for subzone/usage-driven
sites that would terminate authority for each existing site of Subzone
76A if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted to the site for a bona
fide customs purpose within three years from the month of approval.
Dated: July 15, 2021.
Christian B. Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
