Foreign-Trade Zone 241--Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) and Expansion of Subzone 
241A Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the City of Fort Lauderdale, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
241, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its service 
area and to expand Subzone 241A on behalf of the Marine Industries 
Association of South Florida 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR part 
400). It was formally docketed on August 2, 2017.
    FTZ 241 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 6, 2000 (Board Order 
1081, 65 FR 20948, April 19, 2000) and reorganized under the ASF on May 
30, 2013 (Board Order 1898, 78 FR 27364, May 10, 2013). The zone 
currently has a service area that includes the City of Fort Lauderdale 
and a portion of Broward County, Florida.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include another portion of Broward County (known as 
the Dania Cut), 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 
Port Everglades Customs and Border Protection Port of Entry.
    Subzone 241A was approved under the ASF on November 9, 2016 (S-158-
2016, sunset 11/30/2019) and currently consists of the following sites 
in Fort
