Foreign-Trade Zone 64--Jacksonville, Florida, Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) Under Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Jacksonville Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 
64, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its service 
area 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally 
docketed on November 15, 2022.
    FTZ 64 was approved by the FTZ Board on December 29, 1980 (Board 
Order 170, 46 FR 1330, January 6, 1981) and reorganized under the ASF 
on May 6, 2011 (Board Order 1759, 76 FR 28418, May 17, 2011). The ASF 
service area was expanded on July 5, 2012 (Board Order 1840, 77 FR 
41374, July 13, 2012) and on March 15, 2019 (Board Order 2080, 84 FR 
10298, March 20, 2019). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes Baker, Bradford, Clay, Columbia, Duval, Flagler, Nassau, 
Putnam and St. Johns Counties, Florida.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include a portion of Alachua County, Florida, 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 Jacksonville, Florida 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
