[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.
