[Order No. 1857]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 220 Under 
Alternative Site Framework; Sioux Falls, SD

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June

(the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 
CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Sioux Falls Development Foundation, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 220, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-35-2012, filed 05/07/2012) for authority to reorganize and 
expand under the ASF with a service area of Bon Homme, Brookings, Clay, 
Davison, Duel, Hamlin, Hanson, Hutchinson, Kingsbury, Lake, Lincoln,

1, 2 and 3 would be categorized as magnet sites, a parcel of Site 5 
would be renumbered to create new usage-driven Site 7, existing Sites 4 
and 6 and the remainder of Site 5 would be categorized as usage-driven 
sites, and the grantee proposes one additional initial usage-driven 
site (Site 8);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (77 FR 27714, 05/11/2012) 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 
the 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 220 under the 
alternative site framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, to the Board's standard

provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Sites 1 
and 3 if not activated by September 30, 2017, and to a three-year ASF 
sunset provision for usage-driven sites that would terminate authority 
for Sites 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted
