Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-10-2014]


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Cortland County, New York Under 
Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by Cortland County, New York to establish a foreign-trade zone in 
Cortland County, adjacent to the Syracuse CBP port of entry, under the 
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 
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 FTZ Board's standard 2,000-acre activation 
limit for a zone project. The application was submitted pursuant to the 
provisions of 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 docketed on February 6, 2014. The applicant is authorized to 
make the proposal under Chapter 190, Laws of New York, Section 224, 23-
a.
    The proposed zone would be the fourth zone adjacent to the Syracuse 
CBP port of entry. The existing zones are as follows: FTZ 90, Onondaga 
County (Grantee: County of Onondaga, Board Order 230, 11/4/1983); FTZ 
172, Oneida County (Grantee: County of Oneida, Board Order 502, 1/8/
1991); and, FTZ 285, Chenango County (Grantee: Chenango County, Board 
Order 1886, 3/25/2013).
    The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Cortland County. If approved, the applicant would be able to serve 
sites throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The proposed service area is adjacent to the Syracuse 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry. No sites or subzones are 
being requested at this time.
    In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is April 14, 2014. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 28, 2014.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
