11/22/10) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Board of Harbor Commissioners of the Port of Long

sites (Sites 19 through 23);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 69621-69622, 11/15/2010) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations 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
