Foreign-Trade Zone 64--Jacksonville, Florida; Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) Under Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Jacksonville Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
64, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its service 
area 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 September 27, 2018.
    FTZ 64 was approved by the Board on December 29, 1980 (Board Order 
170, 46 FR 1330, January 6, 1981), reorganized under the ASF on May 6, 
2011 (Board Order 1759, 76 FR 28418, May 17, 2011), and the service 
area was expanded under the ASF on July 5, 2012 (Board Order 1840, 77 
FR 41374, July 13, 2012). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Nassau, Putnam and St. 
Johns Counties, Florida.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Flagler County, 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 Jacksonville Customs and Border 
Protection Port of Entry.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Qahira El-Amin 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 December 3, 2018. Rebuttal comments

    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection

Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
