correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) as an option for the establishment or 
reorganization of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 174, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 43-2009, filed 10/13/2009) for authority to reorganize and 
expand under the ASF with a service area of Pima County, within and 
adjacent to the Tucson Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 
174's existing Sites 1 through 6 would be categorized as magnet sites, 
and the grantee proposes one initial usage-driven site (Site 7);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (74 FR 54023-54024, 10/21/09) 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 174 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 Sites 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 if not activated by June 30, 
2015, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites 
that would terminate authority for Site 7 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by June 30, 
2013.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of June 2010.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
