[Order No. 2116]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 158 (Expansion of Service 
Area); Under Alternative Site Framework; Vicksburg/Jackson, Mississippi

    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 Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 158, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-18-2021, docketed March 9, 2021) for authority to expand the 
service area of the zone to include Grenada and Panola Counties, 
Mississippi, as described in the application, adjacent to the Memphis 
(Tennessee) Customs and Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (86 FR 14307, March 15, 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 158 to expand the service area 
under the ASF is approved, 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 for the zone.
