Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1993]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework; Central Pennsylvania

    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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the Pennsylvania Foreign-Trade Zone Corporation (the 
Grantee) has made application to the Board (B-7-2015, docketed February 
5, 2015), requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under 
the ASF with a service area of Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Centre, Fulton, 
Huntingdon and Somerset Counties, Pennsylvania, adjacent to the 
Pittsburgh and Harrisburg Customs and Border Protection ports of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (80 FR 8059, February 13, 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 if approval of the service area 
is limited to Bedford, Blair and Cambria Counties;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone with a service area of 
Bedford, Blair and Cambria Counties, designated on the records of the 
Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 295, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, and to the Board's 
standard 2,000-acre activation limit.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4 day of January 2016.

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