of Service Area and New Magnet Site) Under Alternative Site Framework,

    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 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 Greater Kansas City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 15, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-63-2021, docketed September 14, 2021) for authority to expand 
the service area of the zone to include Holt County, as described in 
the application, and to include a new magnet site (proposed Site 24) in 
Holt County, adjacent to the Kansas City Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (86 FR 52127, September 20, 2021) 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 orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 15 to expand the service area and 
to include a new magnet site 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
