Foreign-Trade Zone 104--Savannah, Georgia, Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area), Under the Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the World Trade Center Savannah, LLC, grantee of 
FTZ 104, requesting authority to expand its service area under the 
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (15 CFR 
400.2(c)). 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 zone. 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 docketed on February 4, 2014.
    FTZ 104 was approved by the Board on April 18, 1984 (Board Order 
256, 49 FR 17789, 04/25/84) and reorganized

under the ASF on January 12, 2011 (Board Order 1736, 76 FR 4865, 1/27/
11, and the service area was expanded on June 10, 2013 (Board Order 
1904, 78 FR 36165, 6/17/13). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes the counties of Bulloch, Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, 
Liberty, Long, Screven, Columbia and Richmond.
    The applicant is requesting authority to expand the service area of 
the zone to include Burke, Candler, Emanuel, Jefferson, Jenkins, 
Johnson, Laurens, Montgomery, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Treutlen, 
Washington and Wheeler Counties, as described in the application. If 
approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites throughout the 
expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ designation. 
The application indicates that the proposed expanded service area is 
adjacent to the Savannah Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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.
