Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1825]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework; Ada and Canyon Counties, ID

    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 Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for ``* * * the 
establishment * * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170-1173, 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 Caldwell Economic Development Council, Inc. (the 
Grantee) has made application to the Board (FTZ Docket 65-2011, filed 
10/19/2011) requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under 
the ASF with a service area of Ada and Canyon Counties, Idaho, within 
and adjacent to the Boise U. S. Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry, and proposed Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (76 FR 66034-66035, 10/25/2011) 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 grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 280, as described in the application, 
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 an ASF sunset provision 
for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Site 2 if not 
activated within five years from the date of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 11th day of May 2012.
John E. Bryson,
Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board.

Attest:
Andrew McGilvray,
