Foreign-Trade Zone 31--Granite City, Illinois; Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by America's Central Port District, grantee of FTZ 31, 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 February 5, 2018.
    FTZ 31 was approved by the FTZ Board on September 6, 1977 (Board 
Order 122, 42 FR 46568; September 16, 1977) and expanded on January 16, 
1985 (Board Order 289, 50 FR 3371; January 24, 1985) and October 3, 
2003 (Board Order 1304, (68 FR 59162; October 14, 2003).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (47 acres)--
Tri-City Regional Port Complex, 2801 Rock Road, Granite City; Site 3 
(4.79 acres)--Fox Industries, 1100 Niedringhaus Avenue, Granite City; 
Site 4 (2.82 acres)--Port District Industrial Park and Transportation 
Center, 1000 and 2000 Access Road, Madison; Site 5 (2,254 acres)--
Gateway Commerce Center, Intersection of 270 and I-255, Edwardsville; 
Site 6 (458 acres)--River's Edge Industrial Park, 1635 West First 
Street, Granite City; and, Site 7 (3,851 acres)--MidAmerica Airport, 
Intersection of I-64 and Route 4, Mascoutah.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Bond, 
Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison, Monroe, 
Montgomery, Randolph, St. Clair, and Washington Counties, Illinois, 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 St. Louis Customs and Border 
Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its zone to 
include existing Sites 1, 5 and 7 as ``magnet'' sites. The applicant 
requests that existing Site 1 be expanded to include the full port area 
and that existing Sites 4 and 6 be included as part of the expanded 
Site 1. As requested, the expanded Site 1 would total 1,530.6 acres. 
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 1 be so exempted. The applicant is 
also requesting the removal of Site 3 as well as Subzones 31A and 31C. 
The application would have no impact on Subzone 31B.
    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.
    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 April 10, 2018. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 25, 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 Elizabeth Whiteman at 
Elizabeth.Whiteman@trade.gov or (202) 482-0473.

    Dated: February 5, 2018.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
