Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 15; Under Alternative Site 
Framework Kansas City, Missouri

    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 Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act provides for ``. . . the 
establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 
CFR S. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the Greater Kansas City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 15, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket B-70-2017, docketed November 8, 2017) for authority to modify 
the boundaries of existing Site 3 at the Kansas City International 
Airport facility by removing and adding acreage under the ASF, in the 
Kansas City Customs and Border Protection port of entry;

    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations 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 expand FTZ 15--Site 3 under the ASF is approved, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, and to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone.
