    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    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, the New River Valley Economic Development Alliance, Inc., 
grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 238, submitted an application to the 
Board (FTZ Docket B-19-2014, docketed 02-26-2014) for authority to 
reorganize under the ASF with a service area including the Counties of 
Alleghany, Amherst, Bedford, Bland, Botetourt, Campbell, Carroll, 
Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Grayson, Henry, Montgomery, Patrick, 
Pittsylvania, Pulaski, Roanoke, Rockbridge, Smyth, Tazewell and Wythe, 
and the Cities of Bedford, Buena Vista, Covington, Danville, Galax, 
Lynchburg, Martinsville, Radford, Roanoke and Salem, Virginia, within 
and adjacent to the New River Valley Airport Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry, and FTZ 238's existing Sites 1 and 2 would be 
categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (79 FR 12149-12150, 03-04-2014) 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 238 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 an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 2 if not activated within five years from 
the month of approval.
