Foreign-Trade Zone 78--Nashville, Tennessee; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, 
grantee of FTZ 78, requesting authority to reorganize the zone 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

[[Page 31369]]

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 June 28, 2018.
    FTZ 78 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 2, 1982 (Board Order 
190, 47 FR 16191, April 15, 1982) and expanded on February 18, 1999 
(Board Order 1024, 64 FR 9472, February 26, 1999), on October 24, 2000 
(Board Order 1124, 65 FR 66231, November 3, 2000), on September 30, 
2002 (Board Order 1249, 67 FR 62697, October 8, 2002), and on June 22, 
2011 (Board Order 1768, 76 FR 39379, July 6, 2011).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 6 (806 acres)--
Nashville International Airport, One Terminal Drive, Nashville; Site 7 
(80 acres)--East Gate Business Park, 3850 and 7800 Eastgate Blvd., 
Nashville; Site 13 (128 acres)--GAP, Inc., 100, 200 & 300 Gap Blvd., 
Gallatin; Site 14 (2 acres)--DHL Global Forwarding, 317 Air Freight 
Blvd., Nashville; and, Site 15 (27.37 acres)--Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, 
Inc., 578 Aldi Blvd., Mt. Juliet.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the 
Counties of Cannon, Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Macon, Maury, 
Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson 
and Wilson, Tennessee, 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 
Nashville Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include existing Sites 6 and 7 as ``magnet'' sites and existing 
Sites 13, 14 and 15 as usage-driven 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 6 be so exempted. No proposed subzones/usage-driven sites are 
being requested at this time. The application would have no impact on 
FTZ 78's previously authorized subzones.
    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 September 4, 
2018. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to September 18, 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
