DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 2119]
Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 249 Under
Alternative Site Framework, Pensacola, Florida
Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-l81u), 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 Pensacola-Escambia County Promotion & Development
Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 249, submitted an application
to the Board (FTZ Docket B-42-2021, docketed May 26, 2021) for
authority to reorganize and expand under the ASF with a service area of
Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties, Florida, in and adjacent to
the Pensacola U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ
249's existing Sites 1, 2, 3 and 5 would be categorized as magnet
sites, and the grantee proposes three usage-driven sites (Sites 6, 7
and 8), and that Site 4 be removed from the zone;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (86 FR 29560, June 2, 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
examiners' 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 and expand FTZ 249 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 Sites 2, 3 and 5 if not activated within five
years from the month of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for
usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 6, 7 and 8
if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs
purpose within three years from the month of approval.
Dated: October 4, 2021.
Christian B. Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
