[Order No. 1680]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 37 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Orange County, NY

    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) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) 
as an option for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones;
    Whereas, Orange County, New York, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 37, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 51-2009, filed 11/12/
2009) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of 
Orange County, New York, adjacent to the New York/Newark Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 37's existing Sites 3 and 7 would 
be categorized as magnet sites, and the grantee proposes one initial 
usage-driven site (Sites 8);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (74 FR 60238, 11/12/09) 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 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 37 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, to 
a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Site 7 if not activated by May 31, 2015, and to a three-
year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that would terminate 
authority for Site 8 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a 
bona fide customs purpose by May 31, 2013.

    Signed at Washington, DC, May 13, 2010.
