[Order No. 2144]


Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under the Alternative Site 
Framework in Western North Carolina

    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 Land of Sky Regional Council (the Grantee), a state 
agency, made application to the Board (B-36-2022, docketed August 17, 
2022 and amended January 6, 2023) requesting the establishment of a 
foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area of Henderson 
County as well as portions of Buncombe, Haywood, Jackson and 
Transylvania Counties, North Carolina, adjacent to the Greenville-
Spartanburg U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and 
proposed Subzone 301A would be categorized as an ASF subzone;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 51651-51652, August 23, 2022) and the amended 
application was processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopted the findings and recommendations of the 
examiners' report, and found that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Therefore, on June 12, 2023, the Board granted to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 301, as described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Section 400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation 
limit, and to an ASF sunset provision for subzones that would terminate 
authority for Subzone 301A if no foreign non-duty paid merchandise is 
admitted to the subzone for a bona fide customs purpose three years 
from the month of approval.

    Dated: June 12, 2023.
