[Order No. 2006]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 172 Under Alternative Site 
Framework, Oneida County, 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 
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the County of Oneida, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 172, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-19-2016, docketed 
April 12, 2016) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a 
service area of Oneida County, New York, adjacent to the Syracuse 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, FTZ 172's existing Site 2a 
would be renumbered as Site 6 and included as a magnet site, Sites 1, 
2, 3, 4, 5 and Subzone 172A would be removed from the zone, and the 
grantee proposes an additional magnet site (Site 7);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (81 FR 22210-22211, April 15, 2016) 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 172 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 magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Site 7 if not activated within five years from 
the month of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of July 2016.
