Foreign-Trade Zone 218--St. Lucie County, Florida, Application 
for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by St. Lucie County, Florida, grantee of FTZ 218, requesting 
authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site framework 
(ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 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 September 17, 2021.
    FTZ 218 was approved by the FTZ Board on October 24, 1996 (Board 
Order 851, 61 FR 58036, November 12, 1996). The current zone includes 
the following sites: Site 1 (1,063 acres)--St. Lucie County 
International Airport, 3000 Curtis King Boulevard, Fort Pierce; Site 2 
(102 acres)--Kings Highway Industrial Park, Kings Highway and Commerce 
Circle, Fort Pierce; Site 3 (315 acres)--St. Lucie West Commerce Park, 
590 NW Peacock Boulevard, Port St. Lucie; and, Site 4 (15 acres)--
Crossroads Commerce

[[Page 52876]]

Park, State Road 70 and I-95, Fort Pierce.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be St. 
Lucie County, Indian River County and Okeechobee County, Florida, 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 Fort Pierce U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection Customs Station.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include all of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-
driven sites are being requested at this time.
    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 November 22, 
2021. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to December 7, 2021.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Online FTZ Information Section'' section of the FTZ Board's 
website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For further 
information, contact Christopher Kemp at [email protected].

    Dated: September 17, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
