Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1785]


Reorganization/Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 53 Under 
Alternative Site Framework; Tulsa, OK

    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, 01/12/2009; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/
2009; 75 FR 71069-71070, 11/22/2010) as an option for the establishment 
or reorganization of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the City of Tulsa-Rogers County Port Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 53, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 8-2011, filed 2/1/2011) for authority to reorganize and expand 
under the ASF with a service area of Rogers County, Oklahoma, within 
and adjacent to the Tulsa Customs and Border Protection port of entry, 
FTZ 53's existing Sites 1 through 5 would be categorized as magnet 
sites, and the grantee proposes two new magnet sites (Sites 6 and 7);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 6600-6601, 2/7/2011) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation 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 and expand FTZ 53 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 Sites 1 through 7 if not activated by 
September 30, 2016.
