FR 52385, 09/03/2003) and October 6, 

2006 (Board Order 1481, 71 FR 61017– 

61018, 10/17/2006). 

The current zone project includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (0.61 acres)— 

McGhee Tyson Airport, State Route 129, 

Alcoa; Site 2 (42 acres)—Colinx LLC 

warehousing facility, 1536 Genesis 

Road, Crossville; Site 3 (190 acres)— 

Partnership Park South, 1731 Fred 

Lawson Lane, Maryville; Site 4 (13 

acres)—within the 15-acre Heritage 

Center Technology Park and adjacent 

Tennessee Technology Park, 1065 West 

Perimeter Road and 2010 Highway 58, 

Oak Ridge; Site 5 (71 acres, 2 parcels) 

within the Eagle Bend Industrial Park, 

350 J.D. Yarnell Industrial Parkway, 

Clinton; Site 6 (6 acres)—CoLinx LLC 

warehouse facility, 712 Interchange 

Drive, Crossville; and, Site 7 (5.7 

acres)—CoLinx LLC warehouse facility, 

704 and 732 Industrial Boulevard, 

Crossville. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would include all of 

Anderson, Blount, Campbell, Claiborne, 

Cocke, Cumberland, Grainger, Jefferson, 

Knox, Loudon, Monroe, Morgan, Roane, 

Scott, Sevier and Union Counties, 

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 

proposed service area is within and 

adjacent to the Knoxville U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project to 

include existing Site 3, Site 4 and Site 

5 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 3 

be so exempted. The applicant is also 

requesting that existing Site 2, Site 6 

and Site 7 be designated as usage-driven 

sites, and that existing Site 1 be 

removed from the zone project due to 

changed circumstances. Because the 

ASF only pertains to establishing or 

reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the 

application would have no impact on 

FTZ 148’s authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is May 18, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to June 4, 2012. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

26, 2011, notice was published in the 

Federal Register (76 FR 23305) that a 

request for a scientific research permit 

to take leatherback sea turtles had been 

submitted by the above-named 

individual. The requested permit has 

been issued under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

and the regulations governing the 

taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

The five year permit authorizes Dr. 

Lutcavage to conduct research to 

characterize the distribution, 

movements and dive behavior of 

leatherback sea turtles in the waters of 

New England. Researchers may take up 

to 25 leatherback sea turtles annually 

that have been disentangled from 

fishing gear by a stranding network or 

captured with a breakaway hoopnet. 

Turtles would be measured, weighed, 

photographed and videotaped, flipper 

and passive integrated transponder 

tagged, blood, tissue, and fecal sampled, 

cloacal, oral, and nasal swabbed, tagged 

with an electronic transmitter, and 

released. 

Issuance of this permit, as required by 

the ESA, was based on a finding that 

such permit (1) was applied for in good 

faith, (2) will not operate to the 

disadvantage of such endangered or 

threatened species, and (3) is consistent 

with the purposes and policies set forth 

in section 2 of the ESA.
