Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1710]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 38 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Spartanburg County, SC

    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 Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170,01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) as 
an option for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones;
    Whereas, the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 38, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 37-20 10, filed 5/19/2010) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area of the South Carolina counties of Greenville, 
Spartanburg, Cherokee, Oconee, Union, Anderson and Laurens, in and 
adjacent to the Greenville/Spartanburg Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry, FTZ 38's existing Sites 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11 as 
well as new Site 13 would be categorized as magnet sites, and the 
grantee proposes three initial usage-driven sites (Sites 1, 5 and 7);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 30372, 6/1/2010) and the application has 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 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 38 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, to 
a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11 and 13 if not activated by 
October 31, 2015, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-
driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 1, 5 and 7 if no 
foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose 
by October 31, 2013.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of October 2010.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
