Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–79–2018] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 263—LewistonAuburn, Maine; 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 Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth 

Council, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 

263, 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 December 19, 2018. 

FTZ 263 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on October 1, 2004 (Board Order 

1354, 69 FR 60840, October 13, 2004) 

and reorganized under the ASF on April 

9, 2015 (Board Order 1973, 80 FR 20469, 

April 16, 2015). The zone currently has 

a service area that includes the Counties 

of Androscoggin, Cumberland and 

Sagadahoc, Maine. 

The applicant is now requesting 

authority to expand the service area of 

the zone to include York County, Maine, 

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 Portland 

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 

February 25, 2019. Rebuttal comments 

in response to material submitted 

during the foregoing period may be 

submitted during the subsequent 15-day 

period March 12, 2019. 

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
