*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 Port of Iberia District (the applicant) made application to the Board (B-6-2024, docketed February 7, 2024) requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area of the portions of Iberia Parish which lie within the boundaries of the Port of Iberia District and a proposed subzone, adjacent to the Morgan City Customs and Border Protection port of entry;
