[Order No. 1984]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework Western Kentucky

    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 Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides for `` . . . the 
establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    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 Paducah McCracken County Riverport Authority (the 
Grantee), has made application to the Board (B-21-2015, docketed April 
10, 2015, requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under 
the ASF with a service area comprised of portions of McCracken and 
Livingston Counties, Kentucky, adjacent to the Evansville, Indiana 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and proposed Site 1 would 
be categorized as a magnet site;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (80 FR 20469, April 16, 2015) 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 grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 294, as described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Section 400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation 
limit, and to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 1 if not activated within five years from 
the month of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 13th day of November 2015.

Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board.
