Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2171]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 123 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Denver, Colorado

    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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the World Trade Center Denver, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 123, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-16-2024, 
docketed April 18, 2024) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with 
a service area of Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, 
and Morgan Counties and a portion of Larimer and Weld Counties, 
Colorado, in and adjacent to the Denver Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry, FTZ 123's existing Sites 3 and 4 would be categorized as 
magnet sites, and existing Site 7 would be categorized as a usage-
driven site;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (89 FR 31132-31133, April 24, 2024) 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 123 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 3 and 4 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 Site 7 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose within three 
years from the month of approval.

    Dated: November 25, 2024.
Dawn Shackleford,
Executive Director of Trade Agreements Policy & Negotiations, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
