Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 33 under Alternative Site 
Framework; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    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) (15 
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the Regional Industrial Development Corporation of 
Southwestern Pennsylvania, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 33, submitted 
an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-43-2015, docketed June 23, 
2015) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of 
Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, 
Lawrence, Somerset, Washington and Westmoreland Counties, Pennsylvania, 
in and adjacent to the Pittsburgh Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry, FTZ 33's existing Sites 1, 2 and 18 would be categorized as 
magnet sites, existing Sites 3, 4, 5 and 10 would be categorized as 
usage-driven sites and Sites 1, 3 and 10 would be modified to reduce 
the sites' boundaries;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (80 FR 37221, June 30, 2015) 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 
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 33 under the ASF is approved, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone, to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate 
authority for Sites 2 and 18 if not activated within five years from 
the month of approval, and to an ASF sunset provision for usage-driven 
sites that would terminate authority for Sites 3, 4, 5 and 10 if no 
foreign-status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose 
within three years from the month of approval.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of November, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, 
Alternate Chairman Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
