[Order No. 2174]


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone Not Approved--Iberia 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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Port of Iberia District (the applicant) made 
application to the Board (B-6-2024, docketed February 7, 2024) 
requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with 
a service area of the portions of Iberia Parish which lie within the 
boundaries of the Port of Iberia District and a proposed subzone, 
adjacent to the Morgan City Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (89 FR 10031, February 13, 2024; 89 FR 102856, December 18, 
2024) and the application was 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 have not been satisfied;
    Therefore, the Board hereby does not approve the application of the 
Port of Iberia District.

    Dated: April 7, 2025.
Dawn Shackleford,
Executive Director of Trade Agreements Policy & Negotiations, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
