DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–21–2015] 

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone— 

Western Kentucky Under Alternative 

Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Paducah McCracken County 

Riverport Authority to establish a 

foreign-trade zone adjacent to the 

Evansville, Indiana CBP port of entry, 

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 

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 project. The application was 

submitted pursuant to the provisions of 

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, 2015. The applicant is authorized to 

make the proposal under the Kentucky 

Revised Statutes, Section 65.530. 

The proposed zone would be the third 

zone for the Evansville CBP port of 

entry. The existing zones are as follows: 

FTZ 146, Lawrence County, Illinois 

(Grantee: Bi-State Authority, Board 

Order 371, 2/11/1988); and, FTZ 177, 

Evansville, Indiana (Grantee: Ports of 

Indiana, Board Order 513, 3/12/1991). 

The applicant’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be portions of 

McCracken and Livingston Counties. If 

approved, the applicant would be able 

to serve sites throughout the service area 

based on companies’ needs for FTZ 

designation. The applicant has stated 

that the proposed service area is 

adjacent to the Evansville Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The proposed zone would include 

one ‘‘magnet’’ site: Proposed Site 1 (30 

acres)—Paducah/McCracken Riverport, 

2000 Wayne Sullivan Drive, Paducah, 

McCracken County. 

The application indicates a need for 

zone services in the Western Kentucky 

area. Specific production approvals are 

not being sought at this time. Such 

requests would be made to the FTZ 

Board on a case-by-case basis. 

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 June 

15, 2015. Rebuttal comments in 

response to material submitted during 

the foregoing period may be submitted 

during the subsequent 15-day period to 

June 30, 2015. 

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 Web site, which is accessible 

via www.trade.gov/ftz.
