Foreign-Trade Zone 74--Baltimore, Maryland; 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 Baltimore Development Corporation on behalf of the City of 
Baltimore, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 74, 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 April 5, 2017.
    FTZ 74 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 21, 1982 (Board 
Order 183, 47 FR 5737, February 8, 1982) and reorganized under the ASF 
on May 24, 2012 (Board Order 1831, 77 FR 32930, June 4, 2012). The zone 
currently has a service area that includes the City of Baltimore and 
the Counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil and Harford.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Howard and Queen Anne Counties, 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 Baltimore Customs and Border 
Protection Port of Entry.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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 June 9, 2017. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to June 26, 2017.
    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. For 
further information, contact Kathleen Boyce at [email protected] 
or (202) 482-1346.
