Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1931]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework; Ontario 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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, Ontario County, New York (the Grantee) has made 
application to the Board (B-80-2013, docketed 8/22/2013), requesting 
the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service 
area of Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Yates, Steuben, and Livingston 
Counties, New York, adjacent to the Rochester Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry, with an initial proposed subzone under the 
ASF;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (78 FR 53127, August 28, 2013) 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 would be satisfied if the ASF service area is 
limited to Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Yates, and Livingston Counties;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 289, with a service area 
of Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Yates, and Livingston Counties, 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 subzones that would terminate authority 
for Subzone 289A if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a 
bona fide customs purpose within three years from the date of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 7th day of March 2014.
Penny Pritzker,
Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board.
