[Order No. 1948]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 160 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Anchorage, Alaska

    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 Municipality of Anchorage, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 160, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-87-2013, 
docketed September 19, 2013) for authority to reorganize under the ASF 
with a service area of the Municipality of Anchorage, within and 
adjacent to the Anchorage U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry, and FTZ 160's existing Sites 1 through 7 would be categorized as 
magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 59914-59915, September 30, 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 are satisfied;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 160 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 through 7 if not activated by 08/
31/2019.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of August 2014.
