[B-3-2023]


Foreign-Trade Zone 29--Louisville, Kentucky; 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 Louisville & Jefferson County Riverport Authority, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 29, 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 9, 2023.
    FTZ 29 was approved by the FTZ Board on May 26, 1977 (Board Order 
118, 42 FR 29323, June 8, 1977) and reorganized under the ASF on 
October 25, 2018 (Board Order 2070, 83 FR 54709-54710, October 31, 
2018). The zone currently has a service area that includes Anderson, 
Breckinridge, Bullitt, Butler, Carroll, Crittenden, Daviess, Franklin, 
Hancock, Henderson, Henry, Hopkins, Jefferson, McLean, Meade, 
Muhlenberg, Nelson, Ohio, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, Trimble, Union, 
Webster, and Woodford Counties, Kentucky.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Christian, Todd, Logan, Simpson, Warren, 
Allen, and Barren Counties, Kentucky, 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 Nashville, Tennessee Customs and Border Protection Port 
of Entry.
    The applicant is also requesting approval of the following ASF 
subzones: Proposed Subzone 29T (2.139 acres)--Southern Kentucky 
Warehousing & Fulfillment, LLC, 16200 Bowling Green

[[Page 2323]]

Road, Rockfield, Logan County; and, Subzone 29U (510.8 acres)--Envision 
AESC Bowling Green LLC, 1397 Production Ave., Bowling Green, Warren 
County.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 
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.
