SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background Consistent with the guidelines in OMB Circular A–25, federal agencies are responsible for implementing cost recovery program fees. The role of ITA is to strengthen the competitiveness of U.S. industry, promote trade and investment, and ensure fair trade through the rigorous enforcement of our trade laws and agreements. ITA works to promote privacy policy frameworks to facilitate the flow of data across borders to support international trade. The United States and the European Union (EU) share the goal of enhancing privacy protection but take different approaches to protecting personal data. Given those differences, the Department of Commerce (DOC) developed the Privacy Shield in consultation with the European Commission, as well as with industry and other stakeholders, to provide organizations in the United States with a reliable mechanism for personal data transfers to the United States from the European Union while ensuring the protection of the data as required by EU law. In July 2016, the European Commission approved the EU–U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. The published Privacy Shield Principles are available at: [insert link]. The DOC has issued the Privacy Shield Principles under its statutory authority to foster, promote, and develop international commerce (15 U.S.C. 1512). ITA will E:\FR\FM\30SEN1.SGM 30SEN1

of zones;
    Whereas, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 214, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ

been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; 
and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied provided that inclusion of 
Robeson County in the service area is limited to the portion of the 
county east of Interstate 95 (I-95);
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize and expand FTZ 214 under the ASF is 
approved, with the service area described above (i.e., inclusion of 
Robeson County in the service area is limited to the portion of the 
county east of I-95), 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 ASF sunset provisions for magnet 
sites that would terminate authority for Sites 1, 7, 8, 9 and 10 if not 
activated within five years from the month of approval and for Sites 5 
and 6 if not activated within the initial ten years from the month of 
approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that 
would terminate authority for Sites 2, 3 and 4 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose within three 
years from the month of approval.
