[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 96 (Wednesday, May 18, 2016)] [Notices] [Page 31226] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-11739] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [B-35-2016] Foreign-Trade Zone 244--Riverside, California; 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 March Joint Powers Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 244, 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 May 12, 2016. FTZ 244 was approved by the FTZ Board on August 21, 2000 (Board Order 1104, 65 FR 54196, September 7, 2000) and reorganized under the ASF on May 13, 2011 (Board Order 1761, 76 FR 29725, May 23, 2011). The zone currently has a service area that includes western Riverside County, California. The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service area of the zone to include the City of Lake Elsinore, 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 Los Angeles/Long Beach 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 addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is July 18, 2016. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period to August 1, 2016. A copy of the application will be available for public inspection at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz.
