[Order No. 1970]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 23 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Buffalo, 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 Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15

[[Page 19277]]

CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the County of Erie, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 23, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-82-2014, docketed 
11-13-2014) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service 
area of Erie County, New York, in and adjacent to the Buffalo Customs 
and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 23's existing Site 1 would be 
categorized as a magnet site, existing Sites 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 would 
be categorized as usage-driven sites, and existing Sites 2, 3, 7 and 8 
would be removed from the zone;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (79 FR 68854, 11-19-2014) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and 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 23 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 usage-driven sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose within three 
years from the month of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 3rd day of April 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
