Foreign-Trade Zone 158--Vicksburg/Jackson, Mississippi; 
Application for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
FTZ 158, requesting authority to reorganize the zone 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 
Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on April 10, 2018.
    FTZ 158 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 11, 1989 (Board 
Order 430, 54 FR 15480 April 18, 1989) and expanded on March 8, 2005 
(Board Order 1378, 70 FR 13449, March 21, 2005), on October 18, 2002 
(Board Order 1864, 77 FR 65359-65360, October 26, 2012), and on May 23, 
2013 (Board Order 1900, 78 FR 33340, June 4, 2013).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 2 (2,242 
acres)--Jackson International Airport Complex, 100 International Drive, 
Jackson; Site 10 (989 acres)--Airport Industrial Park, Air Park Road at 
Old Runway Road, Tupelo; Site 11 (277 acres)--South Green Industrial 
Complex, adjacent to U.S. Highway 45 and the Kansas City Southern 
Railroad, Tupelo; Site 14 (128 acres)--Burlington Northern Industrial 
Park, along U.S. Highway 78 (I-22) and MS Highway 178 Interchange, 
Tupelo; Site 15 (699 acres)--Harry A. Martin North Lee Industrial 
Complex, Intersection of U.S. Highway 45 and Pratts Road, Tupelo; Site 
16 (284 acres)--Turner Industrial Park, U.S. Highway 45 and MS Highway 
145 Interchange, Tupelo; Site 17 (540 acres)--Tupelo Industrial Park 
South, U.S. Highway 45 and Brewer Road Interchange, Tupelo; and, Site 
18 (140 acres)--Central Mississippi Industrial Center, Interstate 55 
and Gluckstadt Road, Gluckstadt and Madison.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Claiborne, Hinds, Madison, Marshall, Pontotoc, Rankin, Tate, Warren and 
Washington Counties, Mississippi in their entirety, and portions of Lee 
and Tishomingo Counties, Mississippi, 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 within and 
adjacent to the following Customs and Border Protection ports of entry: 
Vicksburg and Greenville, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; and, 
Huntsville, Alabama.
    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 2 be so exempted. The application 
would have no impact on FTZ 158's previously authorized subzones.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Qahira El-Amin 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 18, 2018. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to July 2, 2018.
    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 website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Qahira El-Amin at Qahira.El-Amin@trade.gov 
or (202) 482-5928.

    Dated: April 11, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
