[Order No. 1998]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 191 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Palmdale, California

    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 
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the City of Palmdale, California, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 191, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-74-2015, 
docketed November 5, 2015) for authority to reorganize under the ASF 
with a service area of a portion of Los Angeles County, California, as 
described in the application, adjacent to the Los Angeles/Long Beach 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 191's existing 
Sites 1 and 5 would be categorized as magnet sites, existing Site 12 
would be categorized as a usage-driven site, acreage would be reduced 
at Site 1, and Sites 2 through 4 and 6 through 11 would be removed from 
the zone;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (80 FR 69937-69938, November 12, 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 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 191 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, to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Site 5 if not activated within five years from the month 
of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that 
would terminate authority for Site 12 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 13th day of May 2016.
