Foreign-Trade Zone 42--Orlando, Florida Application for 
Reorganization under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, grantee of FTZ 42, 
requesting authority to reorganize 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 January 20, 2015.
    FTZ 42 was approved by the FTZ Board on September 29, 1978 (Board 
Order 137, 43 FR 46887, 10/11/78). The current zone includes the 
following sites: Site 1 (168 acres)--Orlando International Airport, 
Orlando; and, Site 2 (27 acres, expires 6/30/15)--Lincoln International 
Corporate Park, 8633 Transport Drive, Orlando.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Orange 
County, Florida, 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 Orlando Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include

both of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites. 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. The application would have no impact on FTZ 
42's previously authorized subzone.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans 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 March 27, 2015. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 13, 2015.
    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 Camille Evans at [email protected] 
or (202) 482-2350.

    Dated: January 20, 2015.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
