[Docket 63-2010]
Foreign-Trade Zone 64--Jacksonville, Florida Application for
Reorganization/Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Jacksonville Port Authority, grantee of FTZ
64, requesting authority to reorganize and expand 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 November 4, 2010.
FTZ 64 was approved by the Board on December 29, 1980 (Board Order
170, 46 FR 1330, 1/6/1981) and expanded on October 7, 2008 (Board Order
1579, 73 FR 61781, 10/17/2008).
The current zone project includes the following ``sites'' in
Jacksonville, Florida: Site 1 (67 acres)--Jacksonville International
Airport, Pecan Park Road and Terrell Road; Site 2 (43 acres)--Halmark
Properties, Inc., 2201 North Ellis Road; Site 3 (942 acres)--JPA Blount
Island Terminal Complex, 9620 Dave Rawls Boulevard, and JPA Talleyrand
Docks and Terminal Facility, 2085 Talleyrand Avenue; Site 4 (200
acres)--International Trade port Complex, Airport Road; Site 5 (4
acres)--Caribbean Cold Storage, Inc., 1505 Dennis Street; Site 7 (47
acres)--Westlake Industrial Park, 9767 Pritchard Road; and Site 8 (75
acres)--Imeson International Industrial Park, One Imeson Park
Boulevard.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the
Florida counties of Baker, Clay, Columbia, Duval and Nassau, 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 Jacksonville Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its
existing zone project to include existing Sites 1 and 3 as ``magnet''
sites, to include existing Sites 4, 7, and 8 as ``usage-driven'' sites,
to remove existing Sites 2 and 5, and to include the following new site
as a magnet site: Proposed Site 10 (4,474.0 acres)--AllianceFlorida at
Cecil Commerce Center, I-10 and Cecil Commerce Center Parkway,
Jacksonville. Further, existing Site 3 will have its non-contiguous
parcel renumbered, with the Talleyrand Docks and Terminal Facility
(2085 Talleyrand Avenue, Jacksonville) to be designated
[[Page 69049]]
as Site 9 (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 3 (JPA Blount
Island Terminal Complex) be so exempted. Because the ASF only pertains
to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application
would have no impact on FTZ 64's authorized subzone.
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
January 10, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to January 24, 2011.
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: November 4, 2010.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
