[Order No. 1899]


Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 3 (Expansion 
of Service Area and Additional Site) San Francisco, 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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the San Francisco Port Commission, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 3, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-1-
2013, docketed 01-09-2013, amended 02-28-2013) for authority to expand 
the service area of the zone to include Contra Costa, Marin and Solano 
Counties, as well as portions of Napa and Sonoma Counties, California, 
and include a new usage-driven site, as described in the amended 
application, within and adjacent to the San Francisco U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 2952, 01/15/2013, 78 FR 14962-14963, 03/08/2013) 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 of FTZ 3 to expand the service area under the ASF 
and include a new usage-drive site 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 a three-year 
ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that would terminate 
authority for Site 6 if no foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a 
bona fide customs purpose by April 30, 2016.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 30th day of April 2013.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
