[Docket 49-2010]


Foreign-Trade Zone 181--Akron/Canton, OH; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Northeast Ohio Trade & Economic Consortium, 
grantee of FTZ 181, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under 
the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 
1/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/09). The ASF is an option for 
grantees for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the 
designation of new ``usage-driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users 
located within a grantee's ``service area'' in the context of the 
Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a general-purpose zone 
project. The application was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the 
Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on August 17, 2010.
    FTZ 181 was approved by the Board on December 23, 1991 (Board Order 
546, 57 FR 41, 1/2/1992) and expanded on: June 20, 1997 (Board Order 
902, 62 FR 36044, 7/3/1997); March 30, 1998 (Board Order 968, 63 FR 
16962, 4/7/1998); September 13, 1999 (Board Order 1053, 64 FR 51291, 9/
22/1999); November 21, 2002 (Board Order 1260, 67 FR 71933, 12/3/2002); 
May 19, 2004 (Board Order 1334, 69 FR 30281-30282, 5/27/2004); 
September 28, 2006 (Board Order 1479, 71 FR 59072, 10/6/2006); December 
11, 2006 (Board Order 1493, 71 FR 71507-71508, 12/11/2006); and, August

(38 acres) Brunswick Commerce Center at the intersection of Route 303 
and I-71, Brunswick (Medina County); Site 26: (51 acres) Portside 
Corporate Park, located at 2200 Akron-Medina Road, Sharon Township

Industrial Park, State Route 30, Wooster (Wayne County).
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana, Portage, Summit, Stark, 
Medina, Wayne and Richland Counties, Ohio, as described in the 
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The proposed service area is adjacent to the Cleveland 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its 
existing zone project to include existing Sites 1, 3-6, and 8-27 as 
``magnet'' sites, as well as to remove Sites 2, 7 and 28. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. The applicant has 
also requested that Site 1 be expanded to include an additional 193 
acres. In addition, the applicant is requesting approval of the 
following new ``magnet'' site: Proposed Site 29: (71 acres) Albrecht 
Inc., 2700 and 2850 Gilchrist Road, Akron (Summit County). Because the 
ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose 
zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 181's authorized 
subzone.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of 
the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts 
and information presented in the application and case record and to 
report findings and recommendations to the Board.
