    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 City of Phoenix, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 75, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket 24-2010, filed 03/31/
10) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of 
Maricopa County and portions of Pinal and Yavapai Counties, Arizona, 
within and adjacent to the Phoenix Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry, and FTZ 75's existing Sites 1 through 5 would be categorized 
as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 17692, 04/07/10) 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:
