Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1947]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 134 under 
Alternative Site Framework; Chattanooga, Tennessee

    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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the Chattanooga Chamber Foundation, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 134, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-30-
2014, docketed 03-26-2014) for authority to reorganize and expand under 
the ASF with a service area consisting of the Counties of Hamilton, 
Marion, Grundy, Warren, Sequatchie, Bledsoe, Rhea, Meigs, Bradley, Polk 
and McMinn, within and adjacent to the Chattanooga Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry, to remove temporary Site 15, and to 
categorize FTZ 134's existing Sites 1, 2, 3, 9, 10 and 11 as magnet 
sites and existing Sites 13, 14 and 16 as usage-driven sites.
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (79 FR 18259-18260, 04-01-2014) 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:
    The application to reorganize and expand FTZ 134 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 Sites 1, 2, 9, 10 and 11 if not activated 
by August 31, 2019, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-
driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 13, 14 and 16 if 
no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs 
purpose by August 31, 2017.


    Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of August 2014.
Paul Piquado,
