Framework, Kansas City, Missouri

    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 
CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Greater Kansas City Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 15, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-93-2013, docketed 11-5-2013) for authority to reorganize under 
the ASF with a service area of Andrew, Bates, Buchanan, Caldwell, 
Carroll, Cass, Chariton, Clay, Clinton, Cooper, Daviess, DeKalb, Henry, 
Howard, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Livingston, Pettis, Platte, Ray 
and Saline Counties, Missouri, in and adjacent to the Kansas City 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 15's existing Sites 1, 
2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16 and 17 would be categorized as magnet sites, 
Sites 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 would be categorized as usage-driven sites, 
and Sites 5 and 18 would be deleted;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 67333-67334, 11-12-2013) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation 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 15 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, to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16 and 17 if not 
activated by May 31, 2019, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for 
usage-driven sites that would terminate authority for Sites 9, 10, 11, 
13 and 15 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide 
customs purpose by May 31, 2017.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of May 2014.
