Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1936]


Reorganization/Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 235 Under 
Alternative Site Framework, Lakewood, New Jersey

    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) (15 
CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Township of Lakewood, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
235, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-96-2013, 
docketed November 7, 2013) for authority to reorganize and expand under 
the ASF with a service area of the Counties of Ocean, Middlesex, 
Monmouth, Union and Burlington, within and adjacent to the Philadelphia 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 235's existing Sites 1 
and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites, and the grantee proposes 
two initial usage-driven sites (Sites 7 and 8);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 66813-68814, 11-15-2013) 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 
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:

[[Page 29415]]

    The application to reorganize and expand FTZ 235 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 a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that 
would terminate authority for Site 2 if not activated by May 31, 2019, 
and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that 
would terminate authority for Sites 7 and 8 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by May 31, 
2017.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of May 2014.
