Foreign-Trade Zone 164--Muskogee, Oklahoma; Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Muskogee City-County Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 164, 
requesting authority to reorganize and expand 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 May 31, 2022.
    FTZ 164 was approved by the FTZ Board on November 17, 1989 (Board 
Order 450, 54 FR 49321, November 30, 1989) and expanded on February 12, 
2007 (Board Order 1500, 72 FR 8966-8967, February 28, 2007).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (48.19 acres 
total)--Port of Muskogee located at Port and Industrial Park Service 
Road and Port Access Road (14.6 acres), at 2631 Port Place Road (5.92 
acres) and at North 43rd Street East and Don Cayo Road (27.67 acres) in 
Muskogee; Site 2 (47.47 acres)--Port of Muskogee/John T. Griffin 
Industrial Park (Lot 2) located on Dal-Tile Road near State Highway 165 
and U.S. Highway 64 in Muskogee; and, Site 3 (22.83 acres total)--Komar 
Distribution Center facilities located at 400 West Chickasaw (7.63 
acres) and at 10 V. Hubert Smith Drive (15.2 acres) in McAlester.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Muskogee 
County, Oklahoma, 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 adjacent to the Tulsa Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry.
    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. The applicant is 
also requesting approval of the following subzone: Proposed Subzone 
164A--Vallourec Star, LP, 3800 Port Place, Muskogee, Muskogee County 
(102 acres).
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans 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 August 5, 2022. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to August 22, 2022.
    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 Camille Evans at [email protected].

    Dated: May 31, 2022.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
