[Order No. 1886]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework Chenango County, New York

    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) (15 
CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, Chenango County, New York (the Grantee) has made 
application to the Board (B-56-2012, docketed 7/30/2012), requesting 
the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service 
area of Chenango County, New York, adjacent to the Syracuse Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry, and including proposed Sites 1 and 2, 
which would be categorized as usage-driven sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (77 FR 46023-46024, 8/02/2012) 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;
    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. 285, as described in the application, and 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit, and to a 
three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 1 and 2 if no foreign-status merchandise 
is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by March 31, 2016.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of March 2013.
