(Docket 17-2009)


Foreign-Trade Zone 75--Phoenix, Arizona, Application for 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the City of Phoenix, Arizona, grantee of FTZ 75, 
requesting authority to expand the zone project within the Phoenix 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The application was 
submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 April 23, 2009.
    FTZ 75 was approved on March 25, 1982 (Board Order 185, 47 FR 
14931, 4/7/82) and expanded on July 2, 1993 (Board Order 647, 58 FR 
37907, 7/14/93) and on February 27, 2008 (Board Order 1545, 73 FR 
13531, 3/13/08). The zone project consists of four sites (448 acres 
total) in Phoenix: Site 1 (338 acres) -- within the 550-acre Phoenix 
Sky Harbor Center and Sky Harbor International Airport's air cargo 
terminal located at Papago Freeway (Interstate 10) and Buckeye Road; 
Site 2 (18 acres) -- within the central southwestern portion of the 
CC&F South Valley Industrial Center located near the intersection of 
7\th\ Street and Victory Street; Site 3 (74 acres) -- Riverside 
Industrial Center located at 4747 West Buckeye Road; and, Site 4 (18 
acres) -- Santa Fe Business Park located between 47\th\ Avenue and 
45\th\ Avenue.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include the jet fuel storage and distribution system at 
and adjacent to the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 
Phoenix, Arizona (Proposed Site 5). The system (32.5 acres total) 
includes the off-airport terminal (7 tanks, 7.5 acres), airport 
terminal (5 tanks, 3.5 acres), subsurface pipeline (14.5 acres) and 
airport hydrant fueling system (7 acres). These facilities consist 
primarily of storage tanks, pipelines, pumps, valves, filters, meters 
and related equipment. The system is operated by Airport Fueling 
Facilities Corporation which is a consortium of airlines that service 
the airport. No specific manufacturing authority is being requested at 
this time. Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case 
basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Camille Evans of the 
FTZ staff is designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
