[Order No. 1965]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 104 (Expansion of Service 
Area) Under Alternative Site Framework; Savannah, Georgia

    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:


[[Page 14941]]


    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 World Trade Center Savannah, LLC, grantee of FTZ 104, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-9-2014, docketed 
02-04-2014) for authority to expand the service area of the zone to 
include the Counties of Burke, Candler, Emanuel, Jefferson, Jenkins, 
Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Treutlen, 
Washington and Wheeler, as described in the application, adjacent to 
the Savannah Customs and Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (79 FR 7642-7643, 02-10-2014) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report (including addendum), and finds that the requirements 
of the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations are satisfied with regard to 
expanding the service area of FTZ 104 to include Candler, Emanuel, 
Jenkins, Tattnall, Toombs, and Treutlen Counties, Georgia.
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 104 to expand the service area 
under the ASF is approved with regard to the inclusion of Candler, 
Emanuel, Jenkins, Tattnall, Toombs, and Treutlen Counties, Georgia, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, and to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this day of March 12, 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
