Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[B-80-2013]


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Ontario County, New York Under 
Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by Ontario County, New York, to establish a foreign-trade zone in 
Ontario County, adjacent to the Rochester CBP port of entry, under the 
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 
400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for grantees for the establishment or 
reorganization of zones and can permit significantly greater 
flexibility in the designation of new ``subzones'' or ``usage-driven'' 
FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee's ``service 
area'' in the context of the FTZ Board's standard 2,000-acre activation 
limit for a zone project. The application was submitted pursuant to the 
provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-
81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was 
formally docketed on August 22, 2013. The applicant is authorized to 
make the proposal under Chapter 190, Laws of New York 2013, Section 
224-28.
    The proposed zone would be the third zone for the Rochester CBP 
port of entry. The existing zones are as follows: FTZ 141, Monroe 
County (Grantee: County of Monroe, Board Order 355, April 2, 1987); 
and, FTZ 284, Genesee County (Grantee: Genesee Gateway Local 
Development Corporation, Board Order 1865, December 4, 2012).
    The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Ontario, Wayne, Seneca, Yates, Steuben and Livingston Counties, New 
York. If approved, the applicant would be able to serve sites 
throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The proposed service area is adjacent to the Rochester 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting approval of an initial subzone for 
Crosman Corporation under the ASF with the following sites: Proposed 
Site 1 (49.69 acres)--7629 Routes 5 & 20, Bloomfield, Ontario County; 
and, Proposed Site 2 (4.41 acres) 1360 County Road 8, 
Farmington, Ontario County. Specific production approvals are not being 
sought at this time. Such requests would be made to the FTZ Board on a 
case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 
of the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the 
facts and information presented in the application and case record and 
to report findings and recommendations to the FTZ Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is October 28, 
2013. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to November 12, 2013.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the
