[B–82–2014] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 23—Buffalo, New 

York Application for Reorganization 

Under Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the County of Erie, grantee of FTZ 23, 

requesting authority to reorganize the 

zone under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ 

Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is an 

option for grantees for the establishment 

or reorganization of zones and can 

permit significantly greater flexibility in 

the designation of new subzones or 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the FTZ Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a zone. The application was submitted 

pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones 

Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), 

and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR 

part 400). It was formally docketed on 

November 13, 2014. 

FTZ 23 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on March 31, 1976 (Board Order 

110, 41 FR 14824, 4/7/1976) and 

expanded on November 2, 1979 (Board 

Order 148, 44 FR 65802, 11/15/1979); 

April 16, 1982 (Board Order 187, 47 FR 

18014, 4/27/1982); February 7, 1985 

(Board Order 291, 50 FR 6372, 2/15/

1985); October 30, 1989 (Board Order 

445, 54 FR 46431, 11/3/1989); and, June 

25, 1993 (Board Order 645, 58 FR 36390, 

7/7/1993). 

The current zone includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (225 acres)— 

Gateway Trade Center, Buffalo Harbor 

near the Lackawanna Canal, Buffalo and 

Lackawanna, Erie County, City; Site 2 

(298 acres)—Wehrle International 

Business Park, adjacent to the Greater 

Buffalo International Airport, Amherst, 

Erie County; Site 3 (13 acres)—OakMichigan Industrial Corridor, 225 Oak 

Street, Buffalo, Erie County; Site 5 (55 

acres)—Grand Island Industrial Park, 

353 Lang Boulevard, Grand Island, Erie 

County; Site 6 (11 acres)—Speed 

Transportation, 2299 Kenmore Avenue, 

Tonawanda, Erie County; Site 7 (189 

acres)—Aero and Airport Business 

Parks, bounded by Holtz Road, Ellicott 

Creek, Rein Road, and the New York 

State Thruway, (immediately adjacent to 

the Buffalo Niagara International 

Airport), Cheektowaga, Erie County; Site 

8 (194 acres)—Buffalo Niagara 

International Airport’s Air Cargo 

Facility and Airport Commerce Center, 

bounded by Genesee Street, Wehrle 

Drive, and Cayuga Road, Cheektowaga, 

Erie County; Site 9 (5 acres)—Starline 

U.S.A. Inc., 3036 Alt Boulevard, Grand 

Island, Erie County; Site 10 (14.2 

acres)—Buffalo Lakeside Commerce 

Park, 283 and 315 Ship Canal Parkway, 

Buffalo, Erie County; and, Site 11 (5.8 

acres)—Sonwil Distribution Center, 

4900 North America Drive, West 

Seneca, Erie County. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Erie County, 

New York, as described in the 

application. If approved, the grantee 

would be able to serve sites throughout 

the service area based on companies’ 

needs for FTZ designation. The 

proposed service area is within and 

adjacent to the Buffalo Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone to include 

Site 1 as a ‘‘magnet’’ site and Sites 5, 6, 

9, 10 and 11 as ‘‘usage-driven’’ sites, as 

well as to remove Sites 2, 3, 7 and 8. 

The ASF allows for the possible 

exemption of one magnet site from the 

‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally 

apply to sites under the ASF, and the 

applicant proposes that Site 1 be so 

exempted. The application would have 

no impact on FTZ 23’s previously 

authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the FTZ Board’s 

regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the 

FTZ Staff is designated examiner to 

evaluate and analyze the facts and 

information presented in the application 

and case record and to report findings 

and recommendations to the FTZ Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

January 20, 2015. Rebuttal comments in 

response to material submitted during 

the foregoing period may be submitted 

during the subsequent 15-day period to 

February 2, 2015. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the 

‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ 

Board’s Web site, which is accessible 

via www.trade.gov/ftz. For further 

information, contact Elizabeth 

Whiteman at Elizabeth.Whiteman@

Dated: November 13, 2014.
