[Order No. 1704]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 170 Under Alternative Site 
Framework; Jeffersonville, IN

    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 Ports of Indiana, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 170, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 12-2010, filed 2/22/
2010) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area 
that includes Jackson, Washington, Harrison, Floyd, Clark and Scott 
Counties, Indiana, within and adjacent to the Louisville Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 170's existing sites would be 
categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 11514, 3/11/10) 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 170 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 for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 2 and 3 if not activated by August 31, 
2015.
