[Docket 48-2010]
Foreign-Trade Zone 136--Brevard County, FL; Application for
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Canaveral Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 136,
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 August 2, 2010.
FTZ 136 was approved by the Board on March 16, 1987 (Board Order
349, 52 FR 9904, 3/27/1987) and expanded on January 29, 1991 (Board
Order 507, 2/5/91).
The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (476
acres)--Canaveral Port Authority Complex, Port Canaveral, Brevard
County; Site 2 (500 acres)--Titusville-Cocoa Space Center Executive
Airport Industrial Park, Titusville; Site 3 (495 acres)--Melbourne
Regional Airport Industrial Park, Melbourne; Site 4 (24 acres)--Tate
Industrial Park at State Road 520, Cocoa; and Site 5 (5 acres)--718 and
720 North Drive, Melbourne.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Brevard
County, Florida, 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 Port Canaveral Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing
zone project to include Sites 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the existing sites as
``magnet'' sites and existing Site 5 as a ``usage-driven'' site.
Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a
general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 136's
authorized subzones.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, Maureen Hinman 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
October 5, 2010. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to October 20, 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 Maureen Hinman at [email protected]
or (202) 482-0627.
Dated: August 2, 2010.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
