[Order No. 2093]


 Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework Jefferson County, Colorado

    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 (FTZ) 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 FTZ Board (the 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 Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (the 
Grantee), a non-profit corporation, has made application to the Board 
(B-9-2019, docketed February 25, 2019), requesting the establishment of 
a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area of Boulder, 
Clear Creek, Gilpin and Jefferson Counties, Colorado, adjacent to the 
Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Customs and Border Protection user 
fee airport;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (84 FR 7018-7019, March 1, 2019) 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. 298, 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 the user fee agreement for the Rocky Mountain 
Metropolitan Airport CBP user fee airport remaining in effect.
