[Docket 45-2010]


Foreign-Trade Zone 244--Riverside County, CA; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the March Joint Powers Authority, grantee of FTZ 
244, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative 
site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/09; 
correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/09). The ASF is an option for grantees for 
the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose zones and can 
permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new 
``usage-driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users located within a 
grantee's ``service area'' in the context of the Board's standard 
2,000-acre activation limit for a general-purpose zone project. 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 filed on July 14, 2010.
    FTZ 244 was approved by the Board on August 21, 2000 (Board Order 
1104, 65 FR 54196, 09/07/2000). The current zone project includes the 
following site: Site 1 (2,480 acres)--March Inland Port area, 23572 N 
St., Riverside, CA.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be western 
Riverside County, 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 
adjacent to the Los Angeles/Long Beach, California Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include the existing site as a ``magnet'' site. 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.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is 
September 20, 2010. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to October 4, 2010.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
Board's Web site, which is accessible via http://www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Christopher Kemp at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-0862.

    Dated: July 14, 2010.

Executive Secretary.
