                 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 FTZ Board (the 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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization
                of zones;
                 Whereas, the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation (the
                Grantee), a non-profit corporation, has made application to the Board
                (B-9-2019, docketed February 25, 2019), requesting the establishment of
                a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area of Boulder,

                Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Customs and Border Protection user
                fee airport;
                 Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
                Federal Register (84 FR 7018-7019, March 1, 2019) 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
                the Board's regulations are satisfied;
                 Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the
                privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the
                records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 298, as described in the
