Foreign-Trade Zone 60--Nogales, Arizona; Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Nogales-Santa Cruz Economic Development Foundation, Inc., 
grantee of FTZ 60, requesting authority to reorganize and expand the 
zone under the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ 
Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for grantees for the 
establishment or reorganization of zones and can permit significantly 
greater flexibility in the designation of new subzones or ``usage-
driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee's 
``service area'' in the context of the FTZ 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 
March 12, 2014.
    FTZ 60 was approved by the FTZ Board on October 15, 1980 (Board 
Order 164, 45 FR 70037, October 22, 1980) and the grant of authority 
for the zone was transferred from Border Industrial Development, Inc., 
to the Nogales-Santa Cruz Economic Development Foundation, Inc., on 
September 24, 1993 (Board Order 659, 58 FR 51614, October 4, 1993).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (21 acres)--
Nogales West Customs Compound, adjacent to the border crossing at 200 
North Mariposa Road, Nogales; Site 2 (7 acres)--North Industrial Park, 
1480 North Industrial Park Drive, Nogales; and, temporary Site 3 (5 
acres)--BD Medical, 745 North Target Range Road, Nogales.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be all of 
Santa Cruz County, Arizona, 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 Nogales-Mariposa 
U.S.

    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include existing Site 1 and Site 2 as ``magnet'' sites. 
The applicant is also requesting to expand the zone to include 
temporary Site 3 as a usage-driven site.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 FTZ Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is May 19, 2014.

foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to June 2, 2014.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
