include an additional 155 acres at the 

Little Rock Industrial Park (new Site 1 

total—914.48 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 approval of the following 

initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ site: Proposed Site 

4 (16.4 acres)—Timex Corporation, 1302 

Pike Avenue, North Little Rock. Because 

the ASF only pertains to establishing or 

reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the 

application would have no impact on 

FTZ 14’s authorized subzones.

regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner to evaluate 

and analyze the facts and information 

presented in the application and case

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 33–2010] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 22—Chicago, IL; 

Application for Reorganization/ 

Expansion Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Illinois International 

Port District, grantee of FTZ 22, 

requesting authority to reorganize and 

expand the zone under the alternative 

site framework (ASF) adopted by the 

Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/09; correction 

74 FR 3987, 1/22/09). The ASF is an 

option for grantees for the establishment 

or reorganization of general-purpose 

zones and can permit significantly 

greater flexibility in the designation of 

new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for 

operators/users located within a 

grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of 

the Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a general-purpose 

zone project. 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 filed 

on May 7, 2010. 

FTZ 22 was approved by the Board on 

October 29, 1975 (Board Order 108, 40 

FR 51242; November 4, 1975) and 

expanded on April 9, 1987 (Board Order 

353, 52 FR 12217; April 15, 1987); on 

December 11, 1992 (Board Order 614, 57 

FR 61044; December 23, 1992); on 

November 21, 2000 (Board Order 1127, 

65 FR 76218; December 6, 2000); on 

December 19, 2003 (Board Order 1313, 

69 FR 49; January 2, 2004); on May 9, 

2005 (Board Order 1390, 70 FR 29277; 

May 20, 2005); and, on August 21, 2006 

(Board Order 1474, 71 FR 51184; August 

29, 2006). The general-purpose zone 

includes the following sites: Site 1 (51 

acres)—Lake Calumet Harbor Terminal 

Facility, 12200/12255 South Stony 

Island Avenue, Chicago (Cook County); 

Site 2 (578 acres)—Illinois Diversatech 

Campus Corporation, One Diversatech 

Drive, Manteno (Kankakee County); Site 

3 (8 acres)—Gotoh Distribution Services, 

Inc., 703 Foster Avenue, Bensenville 

(Du Page County); Site 4 (8 acres)— 

Meiko America, Inc., Gerry Drive and 

Hanson Court, Wood Dale (Du Page 

County); Site 5 (1,468 acres)— 

CenterPoint Intermodal Center, 20901 

West Walter Strawn Drive, Elwood (Will 

County); Site 6 (317 acres)—Rock Run 

Business Park, Houlbolt Road and 

Interstate 80, Joliet (Will County); Site 7 

(21 acres) O’Hare Express North 

Business Park, 893 Upper Express Drive, 

Chicago (Cook County); Site 8 (102 

acres) ProLogis Park 80, Rt. 47 & 

ProLogis Parkway, Morris (Grundy 

County); Site 9 (12 acres) Centex 

Industrial Park, 1717 Busse Road, Elk 

Grove Village (Cook County); Site 10 (43 

acres) Bolingbrook Distribution Center, 

1701 Remington Boulevard, Bolingbrook 

(Will County); Site 11 (137 acres) 

Heartland Corporate Center, 21228 SW 

Frontage Road, Shorewood (Will 

County); Site 12 (17 acres) LG 

Electronics, 1251 115th Street, 

Bolingbrook (Will County); Site 13 (4.6 

acres) Henry Bath Iroquois Landing, 

9301 South Kreiter Avenue, Chicago 

(Cook County); Site 14 (9 acres) Exel, 

Inc., 3702–3710 River Road, Franklin 

Park (Cook County); Site 15 (7.5 acres) 

Henry Bath, 1550 East 98th Place, 

Chicago (Cook County); Site 16 (32 

acres) BMW, 456 Internationale 

Parkway South, Minooka (Grundy 

County); Site 17 (10 acres) NoramcoChicago, Inc., 12228 New Avenue, 

Lemont (Cook County); and, Site 18 (0.5 

acres) Nagata Technology, Inc., 400 

Lively Boulevard, Elk Grove Village 

(Cook County). Sites 8–11 are subject to 

a sunset provision that would terminate 

authority on September 30, 2011, where 

no activity has occurred under FTZ 

procedures before that date, and Sites 

15–18 are subject to a time limit of 

March 31, 2011. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Cook, Du Page, 

Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake and 

Will Counties and portions of McHenry 

and Kane Counties, 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 Chicago Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project as 

follows: Sites 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13 

and 15 would become ‘‘magnet’’ sites; 

and, Sites 3, 4, 9, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 18 

would become ‘‘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 1 be so exempted. 

The applicant is also requesting 

approval of an additional ‘‘usage-driven’’ 

site in Du Page County: Proposed Site 

19 (9.7 acres)—Eastman Kodak 

Company, 127 East Elk Trail Boulevard, 

Carol Stream. Since the ASF only 

pertains to establishing or reorganizing 

a general-purpose zone, the application 

would have no impact on FTZ 22’s 

authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the Board’s 

regulations, Claudia Hausler 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

their receipt is July 19, 2010. Rebuttal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Second Round of BTOP Funding 

On January 22, 2010, NTIA published 

a Notice of Funds Availability and 

Solicitation of Applications (Second 

NOFA) in the Federal Register 

announcing general policy and 

application procedures for the second 

round of BTOP funding.1 The filing 

deadline for CCI applications under the 

Second NOFA closed on March 26, 

2010.2 Under the Recovery Act, one of 

the core purposes of BTOP is to fund the 

advancement of broadband initiatives to 

support public safety agencies.3 The 

Recovery Act also provides that the 

Assistant Secretary for Communications 

and Information may make competitive 

grants to ‘‘construct and deploy 

broadband facilities that improve public 

safety broadband communications 

services.’’ 4 While NTIA received a 

limited number of public safety-related 

applications in the second round, some 

applicants may have been deterred from 

filing because, inter alia, they lacked the 

legal authority to use the 700 MHz 

public safety broadband spectrum. 

B. Reopening the Application Window 

On May 11, 2010, the FCC adopted an 

order authorizing the early deployment 

of public safety broadband networks in 

the 700 MHz public safety broadband 

spectrum for a number of entities that 

had petitioned for waiver authority for 

such relief.5 To further the objectives of 

the Recovery Act and to help ensure 

that the core statutory purposes of BTOP 

are achieved, NTIA finds that, given 

these extraordinary circumstances, a 

limited reopening of the CCI application 

filing window is in the best interest of 

the federal government.6 Accordingly, 

NTIA reopens the CCI application filing 

window to those entities that meet the 

eligibility criteria in the Second NOFA 

and that have received authority from 

the FCC by the date of this Notice to 

seek to use the 700 MHz public safety 

broadband spectrum to deploy a public 

safety broadband system.7 NTIA is 

limiting eligibility under this Notice to 

this group of entities to help ensure that 

all BTOP grant funds can be obligated 

by the statutory deadline of September 

30, 2010; 8 to provide the public safety 

community with the opportunity to 

obtain funding for an initial set of 

networks to support current NTIA 

efforts to test new standards and 

technologies that eventually will 

support a nationwide interoperable 

public safety broadband network; and to 

provide an opportunity to submit an 

application to entities that may have 

been discouraged from applying for 

BTOP funding because they did not 

have the legal authority to use the 700 

MHz spectrum. Entities that received a 

FCC waiver and that already have 

applied for the second round of BTOP 

funding are not required to reapply 

during this new window. 

C. 700 MHz Public Safety Broadband 

Network 

A public safety broadband network 

utilizing the 700 MHz public safety 

broadband spectrum will increase the 

nationwide interoperable broadband 

communications capabilities of first 

responders and public safety agencies 

by improving the ability of public safety 

entities to utilize applications made
