Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1865]


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

    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) (74 
FR 1170-1173, 01/12/2009; (correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/2009); 75 FR 
71069-71070, 11/22/2010) as an option for the establishment or 
reorganization of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Genesee Gateway Local Development Corporation (the 
Grantee) has made application to the Board (Docket 69-2011, filed 10/
27/11) requesting the establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the 
ASF with a service area of Genesee County, New York, adjacent to the 
Rochester U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and 
proposed Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (76 FR 67672, 11/02/11), 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, and that approval of the 
application is in the public interest;

[[Page 75610]]

    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. 284, 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 for the overall general-purpose zone, and to an ASF sunset 
provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Site 1 if 
not activated within five years from the date of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of December 2012.
Rebecca Blank,
Acting Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-
Trade Zones Board.
