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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of

with a service area that includes all Lummi Nation property which
encompasses the Lummi Indian Reservation plus all property owned by the
Lummi Nation outside the exterior boundaries of the Lummi Indian
Reservation, in and adjacent to the Bellingham Customs and Border
Protection port of entry, and FTZ 128's existing Site 1 would be
categorized as a magnet site;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (88 FR 30718, May 9, 2023) 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 FTZ 128 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.
