    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

of zones;
    Whereas, the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, grantee of Foreign-

Providence and Washington, Rhode Island, in and adjacent to the 
Providence Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 105's 
existing Sites 1, 2 and 3 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (83 FR 4466, January 31, 2018) 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
