DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–42–2021] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 249—Pensacola, 

Florida; Application for Reorganization 

and Expansion Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Pensacola-Escambia County 

Promotion & Development Commission, 

grantee of FTZ 249, requesting authority 

to reorganize and expand the zone 

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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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 

May 26, 2021. 

FTZ 249 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on May 23, 2001 (Board Order 

1167, 66 FR 30408, June 6, 2001. The 

current zone includes the following 

sites: Site 1 (40 acres)—Port of 

Pensacola, 700 S. Barracks Street, 

Pensacola; Site 2 (1,400 acres)— 

Pensacola Regional Airport Complex, 

2430 Airport Boulevard, Pensacola; Site 

3 (70 acres)—Pensacola Shipyard 

Marine Complex, 700 South Myrick 

Street, Pensacola; Site 4 (10 acres)—FDC 

Industrial Warehouse, 10 Spruce Street, 

Pensacola; and, Site 5 (140 acres)— 

Century Industrial Park, Escambia 

County Road 4 and Industrial 

Boulevard, Century. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Escambia, 

Okaloosa and Santa Rosa Counties, 

Florida, 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 Pensacola U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection port of 

entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone to include 

Sites 1, 2, 3 and 5 as ‘‘magnet’’ sites and 

that Site 4 be removed. 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 ‘‘usage-driven’’ sites for 

SnackCrate, Inc.: Site 6 (1 acre)—201 

East Wright Street, Pensacola; Site 7 (1 

acre)—3330 Bill Metzger Lane, 

Pensacola; and, Site 8 (1 acre)—3867 

Palafox Street, Pensacola. The 

application would have no impact on 

FTZ 249’s previously authorized 

subzone. 

In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions shall be 

addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive 

Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The 

closing period for their receipt is August 

2, 2021. Rebuttal comments in response 

to material submitted during the 

foregoing period may be submitted 

during the subsequent 15-day period to 

August 16, 2021. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection in the 

‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ 

Board’s website, which is accessible via 

www.trade.gov/ftz. For further 

information, contact Christopher Kemp 

at Christopher.Kemp@trade.gov.

International Trade Administration 

District Export Council Nomination 

Opportunity 

AGENCY: International Trade 

Administration, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of opportunity for 

appointment to serve as a District 

Export Council member. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

is currently seeking nominations of 

individuals for consideration for 

appointment by the Secretary of 

Commerce to serve as members of one 

of the 61 District Export Councils 

(DECs) nationwide. DECs are closely 

affiliated with the U.S. Export 

Assistance Centers (USEACs) of the U.S. 

and Foreign Commercial Service 

(US&FCS), which is part of the Global 

Markets unit within the International 

Trade Administration, and play a key 

role in the planning and coordination of 

export activities in their communities. 

DATES: Nominations for individuals to a 

DEC must be received by the local 

USEAC Director by 5:00 p.m. local time 

on July 31, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Please contact the Director of your local 

USEAC for more information on DECs 

and the nomination process. You may 

identify your local USEAC by entering 

your zip code online at http://

export.gov/usoffices/index.asp. For 

general program information, contact 

Laura Barmby, National DEC Liaison, 

US&FCS, at (202) 482–2675. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: District 

Export Councils support the mission of 

US&FCS by facilitating the development 

of an effective local export assistance 

network, supporting the expansion of 

export opportunities for local U.S. 

companies, serving as a communication 

link between the business community 

and US&FCS, and assisting in 

coordinating the activities of trade 

assistance partners to leverage available 

resources. Individuals appointed to a 

DEC become part of a select corps of 

trade professionals dedicated to 

providing international trade leadership 

and guidance to the local business 

community and assistance to the 

Department of Commerce on export 

development issues. DEC members are 

volunteers. DEC members are not 

special government employees. DEC 

members receive no compensation for 

their participation in DEC activities or 

reimbursement for travel and other 

personal expenses. 

Nomination Process: Each DEC has a 

maximum membership of 35. 

Approximately half of the positions are 

open on each DEC for the four-year term 

that begins on January 1, 2022 and runs 

through December 31, 2025. All 

potential nominees must complete an 

online nomination form and consent to 

sharing of the information on that form 

with the DEC Executive Committee for 

its consideration, and consent, if 

appointed, to sharing of their contact 

information with other DEC members 

and relevant government agencies and 

private sector organizations with a focus 

on trade. Interested individuals are 

highly encouraged to reach out to the 

local USEAC Director to learn more 

about the DECs and to begin the 

application process as soon as possible. 

While interested individuals can submit 

applications prior to July 1, 2021, 

USEAC Directors will formally accept 

nominations from July 1 until July 31, 

2021. 

Eligibility and Appointment Criteria: 

Appointment is based upon an 

individual’s international trade 

leadership in the local community, 

ability to influence the local 

environment for exporting, knowledge 

of day-to-day international operations, 

interest in export development, and 

willingness and ability to devote time to 

DEC activities. Members must be 

employed as exporters or export service 

providers or in a profession which 

supports U.S. export promotion efforts. 

Members include exporters, export 

service providers and others whose 

profession supports U.S. export 

promotion efforts. DEC member 

appointments are made without regard 

to political affiliation. DEC membership 

is open to U.S. citizens and permanent 

residents of the United States. As 

representatives of the local exporting 

community, DEC Members must reside 

in, or conduct the majority of their work 

in, the territory that the DEC covers. 

DEC membership is not open to federal 

government employees. Individuals 

representing foreign governments, 

including individuals registered with 

the Department of Justice under the 

Foreign Agents Registration Act, must 

disclose such representation and may be 

disqualified if the Department 

determines that such representation is 

likely to impact the ability to carry out 

the duties of a DEC member or raise an 

appearance issue for the Department. 

Selection Process: Nominations of 

individuals who have applied for DEC 

membership will be forwarded to the 

local USEAC Director for the respective 

DEC for that Director’s consideration. 

The local USEAC Director ensures that 

all nominees meet the membership 

criteria. The local USEAC Director then, 

in consultation with the local DEC 

Executive Committee, evaluates all 

nominations to determine their interest, 

commitment, and qualifications. In 

reviewing nominations, the local 

USEAC Director strives to ensure a 

balance among exporters from a 

manufacturing or service industry and 

export service providers. A fair 

representation should be considered 

from companies and organizations that 

support exporters, representatives of 

local and state government, and trade 

organizations and associations. 

Membership should reflect the diversity 

of the local business community, 

encompass a broad range of businesses 

and industry sectors, and be distributed 

geographically across the DEC service 

area. 

For current DEC members seeking 

reappointment, the local USEAC 

Director, in consultation with the DEC 

Executive Committee, also carefully 

considers the nominee’s activity level 

during the previous term and 

demonstrated ability to work 

cooperatively and effectively with other 

DEC members and US&FCS staff. As 

appointees of the Secretary of 

Commerce in high-profile positions, 

though volunteers, DEC Members are 

expected to actively participate in the 

DEC and support the work of local 

US&FCS offices. Those that do not 

support the work of the office or do not 

actively participate in DEC activities 

will not be considered for renomination.
