Foreign-Trade Zone 104--Savannah, Georgia; Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) Under Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by World Trade Center Savannah, LLC, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 104, 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 January 14, 2020.
    FTZ 104 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 18, 1984 (Board 
Order 256, 49 FR 17789, April 25, 1984), reorganized under the ASF on 
January 12, 2011 (Board Order 1736, 76 FR 4865, January 27, 2011) and 
the ASF service area was expanded on June 10, 2013 (Board Order 1904, 
78 FR 36165, June 17, 2013) and on March 12, 2015 (Board Order 1965, 80 
FR 14940-14941, March 20, 2015). The zone currently has a service area 
that includes Bulloch, Bryan, Candler, Chatham, Columbia, Effingham, 
Emanuel, Evans, Jenkins, Liberty, Long, Richmond, Screven, Tattnal, 
Toombs and Treulten Counties, Georgia.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Burke County, Georgia, 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 Savannah, Georgia U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection Port of Entry
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is March 27, 2020. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 13, 2020.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the FTZ Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For further information, contact 
Christopher Kemp at [email protected] or (202) 482-0862.

    Dated: January 16, 2020.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
