[S-151-2020]


Foreign-Trade Zone 65--Panama City, Florida; Application for 
Expansion of Subzone 65A; Eastern Shipbuilding Group, Inc.; Panama City 
and Port St. Joe, Florida

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Panama City Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 65, requesting 
expanded subzone status for the facilities of Eastern Shipbuilding 
Group, Inc. (Eastern Shipbuilding), located in Panama City and Port St. 
Joe, Florida. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions 
of 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 27, 2020.
    The application is requesting authority to expand Site 1 of Subzone 
65A in Panama City, Florida to include an additional 1.69 acres located 
at 116 East Avenue South and an additional 4.38 acres located at 202 
East Avenue South. The application also requests authority to include a 
new site (proposed Site 4--20 acres) located at 342 Howard Road, Port 
St. Joe, Florida.
    Because the proposed new site of the subzone is outside of FTZ 65's 
Alternative Site Framework (ASF) service area, authorization of the 
expanded subzone would not be under the ASF. The proposed expanded 
subzone would be subject to the existing activation limit of FTZ 65.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Christopher Kemp of 
the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to review the application and make 
recommendations to the Executive Secretary.
    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 October 13, 
2020. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to October 26, 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.
