Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1738]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 22 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Chicago, IL

    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; 
75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/10) as an option for the establishment or 
reorganization of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Illinois International Port District, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 22, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 33-2010, filed 5/7/2010) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area of Cook, Du Page, Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, 
Lake and Will Counties and portions of McHenry and Kane Counties, 
Illinois, in and adjacent to the Chicago Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry, FTZ 22's existing Sites 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 
15 would be categorized as magnet sites, existing Sites 3, 4, 9, 12, 
14, 16, 17 and 18 as usage-driven sites, and the grantee proposes one 
initial usage-driven site (Site 19);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 27983-27984, 5/19/2010) 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 22 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 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 and 15 if not activated 
by January 31, 2016, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for 
usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 3, 4, 9, 
12, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 19 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted 
for a bona fide customs purpose by January 31, 2014.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 12 day of January 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
