Foreign-Trade Zone 142--Salem/Millville, New Jersey; Application 
for Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the South Jersey Port Corporation, grantee of FTZ 142, 
requesting authority to reorganize and expand 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 October 11, 2018.
    FTZ 142 was approved by the FTZ Board on August 25, 1987 (Board 
Order 358, 52 FR 33855, September 8, 1987).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (95 acres)--
Port of Salem complex, Salem; Site 2 (10 acres)--Walnut Street 
warehouse complex, Salem; and, Site 3 (144 acres)--Millville Municipal 
Airport Industrial Park, Millville.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the 
Counties of Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland 
and Cape May, New Jersey, 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 application 
indicates that the proposed service area is within and adjacent to the 
Philadelphia Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its 
existing zone to include all of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites. 
The applicant is also requesting approval of the following magnet site: 
Proposed Site 4 (1,630 acres)--Repauno/Greenwich rail and port terminal 
complex, 200 North Repauno Avenue, Gibbstown. The application would 
have no impact on FTZ 142's previously authorized subzones.
    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 December 17, 
2018. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to December 31, 2018.
    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 website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Kathleen Boyce at [email protected]

    Dated: October 11, 2018.

Executive Secretary.
