general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Greater Cincinnati Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of FTZ 47, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 21-2011, 
filed 3/15/2011) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a 
service area of Boone, Kenton and Campbell Counties, Kentucky, adjacent

47's existing Site 2 would be categorized as a magnet site and existing 
Site 1 would be reduced by 15 acres and categorized as a usage-driven 
site;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 14901, 3/18/2011) 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 47 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, and 
to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 2 if not activated by July 31, 2016, and 
to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 1 if no foreign-status merchandise is 
admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by July 31, 2014.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 26th day of July 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
