[Docket 37-2010]


Foreign-Trade Zone 38--Spartanburg County, SC; Application for 
Reorganization/Expansion under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee 
of FTZ 38, requesting authority to expand the zone and reorganize under 
the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 
01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09). 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 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 
May 19, 2010.
    FTZ 38 was approved by the Board on May 4, 1978 (Board Order 131, 
43 FR 20526, 05/12/78), and expanded on November 9, 1994 (Board Order 
715, 59 FR 59992, 11/21/94), on July 23, 1997 (Board Order 910, 62 FR 
40797, 07/30/97), on January 8, 1999 (Board Order 1015, 64 FR 3064, 01/
20/99), on July 21, 2005 (Board Order 1401, 70 FR 44559, 08/03/05), and 
on October 16, 2008 (Board Order 1583, 73 FR 63675, 10/27/08).
    The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (20 
acres)--Global Trade Center, 28 Global Drive, Greenville; Site 2 (799 
acres total)--International Transport Center, Victor Hill Rd., Greer, 
and Gateway International Business Center, Brookshire Rd. and SC Hwy.
    101, Greer; Site 3 (116 acres total)--Highway 290 Commerce Park, 
201 Commerce Circle, Duncan, and Global Automotive Partners, 150 
Parkway W., Duncan; Site 4 (473 acres)--Wingo Corporate Park, 5675 N. 
Blackstock Rd., Spartanburg; Site 5 (118 acres)--Key Logistics, 101 
Michelin Dr., Laurens; Site 6 (20 acres)--Lakeside Business Center, 
2355 Hwy. 101 South, Greer; Site 7 (19 acres)--ZF Lemforder, 191 
Parkway West, Duncan; Site 8 (88 acres)--Riverbend Business Center, US 
Hwy. 29 between I-85 and I-26, Spartanburg; Site 9 (207 acres)--
Corporate Center, 100 Corporate Dr., Spartanburg, and Bryant Business 
Park, 170 Landers Street, Spartanburg; Site 10 (334 acres)--Interchange 
Commerce Park, John Dodd Rd. and I-26, Spartanburg; Site 11 (51 
acres)--Caliber Ridge Industrial Park, 125 Caliber Ridge Dr., Greer; 
and, Site 12 (4 acres)--Industrial Warehousing, dba Product Action, 100 
Fortis Dr., Duncan.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Greenville, Spartanburg, Cherokee, Oconee, Union, Anderson, and Laurens 
Counties, 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 Greenville/Spartanburg Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its 
existing zone project to include existing Sites 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 
11 as ``magnet'' sites and existing Sites 1, 5, and 7 as ``usage-
driven'' sites, as well as to remove Sites 8 and 12 and to remove 5 
acres from Site 3 and 91 acres from Site 5. 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 2 be so exempted. The applicant is also requesting approval 
of the following ``magnet'' site:
    Proposed Site 13 (318 acres)--VMI Logistics Park, Victor Hill Rd., 
Greer. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a 
general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ's 38 
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 listed below. The closing period for their 
receipt is August 2, 2010. Rebuttal comments in response to material 
submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the 
subsequent 15-day period (to August 16, 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]

    Dated: May 19, 2010.

Executive Secretary.
