[Order No. 2039] 

Reorganization and Expansion of 

Foreign-Trade Zone 193 Under 

Alternative Site Framework; Pinellas 

County, Florida 

Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the 

following Order: 

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 ForeignTrade Zones 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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the 

establishment or reorganization of 

zones; 

Whereas, Pinellas County, Florida, 

grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 193, 

submitted an application to the Board 

(FTZ Docket B–50–2016, docketed 

August 2, 2016) for authority to 

reorganize and expand under the ASF 

with a service area of Pinellas, 

Hernando and Pasco Counties, Florida, 

in and adjacent to the St. Petersburg 

Customs and Border Protection port of 

entry, FTZ 193’s existing Sites 1, 2 and 

3 would be categorized as magnet sites, 

and the zone would have four initial 

usage-driven sites (Sites 4, 5, 6 and 7), 

with Temporary Site 8 maintaining its 

current designation; 

Whereas, notice inviting public 

comment was given in the Federal 

Register (81 FR 52401, August 8, 2016) 

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 the 

Board’s regulations are satisfied; 

Now, Therefore, the Board hereby 

orders: 

The application to reorganize and 

expand FTZ 193 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 an ASF sunset provision for magnet 

sites that would terminate authority for 

Sites 2 and 3 if not activated within five 

years from the month of approval, and 

to an ASF sunset provision for usagedriven sites that would terminate 

authority for Sites 4, 5, 6 and 7 if no 

foreign-status merchandise is admitted 

for a bona fide customs purpose within 

three years from the month of approval.
