Expanded Production Authority Not Approved; Foreign-Trade Zone 
169; ASO, LLC; Subzone 169A; (Textile Fabric Adhesive Bandage Coating 
and Production); Sarasota, Florida

    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, ASO, LLC (ASO), operator of Subzone 169A, has requested 
certain expanded production authority for the coating and production of 
textile fabric adhesive bandages, within Subzone 169A, at the ASO 
facility in Sarasota, Florida, (B-24-2013, docketed 03-19-2013).
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (78 FR 18314, 03-26-2013 (initial application); 79 FR

[[Page 47896]]

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 have not been satisfied (i.e., the applicant 
has not met the burden of proof to demonstrate that its proposal would 
result in a net positive economic effect and significant public 
benefit);
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby does not approve the application 
requesting expanded production authority under zone procedures within 
Subzone 169A at the facility of ASO, LLC, located in Sarasota, Florida, 
as described in the application and Federal Register notice.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 31st day of July 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
