    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) (15

[[Page 27954]]

CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the FTZ Corporation of Southern Pennsylvania, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 147, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-79-2012, docketed 11-1-2012) for authority to reorganize under 
the ASF with a service area of Berks, Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, 
Lancaster and York Counties, Pennsylvania, in and adjacent to the 
Harrisburg Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 147's 
existing Sites 1-5, 7-14, 16-19 and 23-26 would be categorized as 
magnet sites, and FTZ 147's existing Sites 20-22 would be categorized 
as usage-driven sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (77 FR 66796-66797, 11/7/2012) 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 orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 147 under the ASF is approved, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone, and to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that 
would terminate authority for Sites 2-5, 7-14, 16-19 and 23-26 if not 
activated by April 30, 2018 and to a three-year ASF sunset provision 
for usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 20-22 
if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs 
purpose by April 30, 2016.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 30th day of April 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
