    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 Board of County Commissioners of Washington County, 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 255, submitted an application to the 
Board (FTZ Docket B-27-2023, docketed April 13, 2023) for authority to

Register (88 FR 24161-24162, April 19, 2023) 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

terminate authority for Sites 1, 4, 6 and 7 if not activated within 
five years from the month of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision 
for subzones that would terminate authority for Subzone 255A if no 
foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose 
within three years from the month of approval.
