[Docket 29-2011]


Foreign-Trade Zone 141--County of Monroe, New York; Application 
for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the County of Monroe, grantee of FTZ 141, 
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); 75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/10). 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 April 28, 2011.
    FTZ 141 was approved by the Board on April 2, 1987 (Board Order 
355, 52 FR 12219, 4/15/87) and expanded on April 23, 1996 (Board Order 
813, 64 FR 20791, 05/08/96) and on June 9, 2005 (Board Order 1396, 70 
FR 36116, 06/22/05).
    The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (10 
acres)--401 Pixley Road, Gates; Site 2 (8 acres)--Monroe FTZ Operators, 
Inc. warehouse facilities, 39 Breck Street, Rochester; Site 3 (14 
acres)--10 Carriage Street, Honeoye Falls; Site 4 (38 acres)--200 
Carlson Road, Rochester; Site 5 (5 acres)--Monroe FTZ Operators, Inc. 
warehouse facilities, 655-C Basket Road, Webster; Site 6 (5 acres)--111 
Commerce Drive, Rochester; Site 7 (3 acres)--10 Thruway Park, West 
Henrietta; Site 8 (2.2 acres)--1698 Lyell Avenue, Rochester; Site 9 
(0.6 acres)--Supply Chain Services warehouse, 847 West Avenue, Building 
10, Rochester; Site 10 (2 acres)--Liberty Precision Industries' 
warehouse complex, 3025 Winton Road South, Rochester; and, Site 11 (314 
acres)--Rochester Technology Park, 789 Elmgrove Road, Rochester.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Monroe 
County, New York, 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 
within and adjacent to the Rochester Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project under the ASF as follows: Sites 2, 5, and 9 would become 
``magnet'' sites and Sites 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 11 would be 
removed. The applicant is also requesting approval of the following 
initial ``usage-driven'' site: Proposed Site 12 (7 acres), Firth Rixson 
Inc. d/b/a Firth Rixson Monroe, 181 McKee Road, Rochester.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is 
July 5, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to July 18, 2011.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via http://www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Kathleen Boyce at [email protected]

    Dated: April 28, 2011.
