Framework, Rockford, IL

    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) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) 
as an option for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones;
    Whereas, the Greater Rockford Airport Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 176, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 1-2010, filed 1/6/2010) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area that includes Winnebago, Stephenson, Ogle, Lee, 
DeKalb, and Boone Counties, and portions of Bureau, McHenry and Kane 
Counties, Illinois, within and adjacent to the Rockford Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 176's existing sites would be 
categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 2487, 1/15/10) 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 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 176 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, and 
to a five-year ASF sunset provision
