Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2119]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 249 Under 
Alternative Site Framework, Pensacola, Florida

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-l81u), 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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the Pensacola-Escambia County Promotion & Development 
Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 249, submitted an application 
to the Board (FTZ Docket B-42-2021, docketed May 26, 2021) for 
authority to reorganize and expand under the ASF with a service area of 
Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties, Florida, in and adjacent to 
the Pensacola U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 
249's existing Sites 1, 2, 3 and 5 would be categorized as magnet 
sites, and the grantee proposes three usage-driven sites (Sites 6, 7 
and 8), and that Site 4 be removed from the zone;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (86 FR 29560, June 2, 2021) 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 and expand FTZ 249 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 2, 3 and 5 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 Sites 6, 7 and 8 
if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs 
purpose within three years from the month of approval.

    Dated: October 4, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
