Foreign-Trade Zone 63--Prince George's County, Maryland: 
Application for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by Prince George's County, Maryland, grantee of FTZ 63, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site 
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec. 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 July 29, 2014.
    FTZ 63 was approved by the FTZ Board on October 20, 1980 (Board 
Order 167, 45 FR 71639, 10/29/80). The current zone includes the 
following site: Site 1 (77.48 acres)--Collington Center Industrial 
Park, Trade Zone Avenue, Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Prince 
George's County, 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 
adjacent to the Washington-Dulles Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include

the existing site as a ``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 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being 
requested at this time.
    In accordance with the FTZ 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 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 October 3, 2014. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to October 20, 2014.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Kathleen Boyce at [email protected]
