[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.
