Foreign-Trade Zone 90--Onondaga County, NY Application for 
Expansion and Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the County of Onondaga, grantee of FTZ 90, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site 
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF is 
an option for grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones 
and can permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of 
new subzones or ``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 zone. 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 August 6, 2012.
    FTZ 90 was approved by the Board on November 4, 1983 (Board Order 
230, 48 FR 52108, 11-16-1983) and expanded on March 12, 1999 (Board 
Order 1030, 64 FR 14212, 3-24-1999). The current zone includes the 
following site: Site 1 (22 acres)--Woodard Industrial Park, Steelway 
Boulevard, Clay.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego and Madison Counties, 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 
Syracuse Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project by removing existing Site 1 and designating two new sites 
as ``magnet'' sites: Proposed Site 2 (339.41 acres)--Clay Business 
Park, NYS Route 31 and Caughdenoy Road, Clay, Onondaga County; and, 
Proposed Site 3 (35.98 acres)--Port of Oswego, 1 East Second Street, 
Oswego, Oswego County. The application would have no impact on FTZ 90's 
previously authorized subzones.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 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.

shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at the address

Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
