Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1741]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 181 under Alternative Site 
Framework; Akron/Canton, OH

    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) (74 
FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09; 75 FR 71069-71070, 
11/22/10) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Northeast Ohio Trade & Economic Consortium, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 181, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 49-2010, filed 8/17/2010) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area of Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning, Columbiana, 
Portage, Summit, Stark, Medina, Wayne and Richland Counties, Ohio, 
adjacent to the Cleveland Customs and Border Protection port of entry, 
FTZ 181's existing Sites 1, 3-6, and 8-27 would be categorized as 
magnet sites, and the grantee proposes an additional magnet site (Site 
29);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (75 FR 51753-51754, 8/23/2010) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation 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 181 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, to 
a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 3-5, 8, 10, 11, 14-21, 23, 25-27 and 29 if not 
activated by February 29, 2016, and to a seven-year ASF sunset 
provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Sites 6, 
9, 12, 13, 22 and 24 if not activated by February 28, 2018.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 4th day of February, 2011.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
