site

[[Page 53638]]

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 August 26, 2010.
    FTZ 104 was approved by the Board on April 18, 1984 (Board Order 
256, 49 FR 17789, 4/25/84) and expanded on November 20, 2008 (Board 
Order 1587, 73 FR 76610-76611, 12/17/08).
    The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (18.0 
acres)--Savannah International Airport, Savannah; Site 2 (1,075.0 
acres)--Garden City Terminal, 2 Main Street, Chatham County and Ocean 
Terminal, 950 West River Street, Savannah; Site 2A (1.0 acres)--730 
King George Blvd., Savannah; Site 3 (1,820.0 acres)--Crossroads 
Business Center, I-95 and Godley Road, Chatham County; Site 4 (1,353.0 
acres)--SPA Industrial Park, East of the I-95/U.S. 80 Interchange, 
Chatham County; Site 5 (24.0)--Savannah International Trade and 
Convention Center, One International Drive, Savannah; Site 6 (24.0 
acres)--Mulberry Grove Site, I-95 and State Highway 21, Savannah; Site 
7 (1,592.0 acres)--Tradeport Business Center Industrial Park, 380 
Sunbury Road, Midway; Site 8 (98.0 acres)--Tremont Road near I-16 and 
Georgia 516 Interchange, Savannah; Site 9 (15.0 acres)--Savannah 
Warehouse Services, 145 Distribution Drive, Savannah; and Site 10 (62.9 
acres)--Savannah Logistics Park at Morgan Center, S.H. Morgan Parkway 
and Pooler Parkway, Savannah.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the 
Georgia counties of Bulloch, Bryan, Chatham, Effingham, Evans, Liberty, 
Long, and Screven, 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 Savannah Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project to include five of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites 
and is requesting approval of the following additional magnet sites: 
Proposed Site 11 (1,081.0 acres)--Interstate Centre Industrial Park, 
11250 US Highway 280, Black Creek; Proposed Site 12 (1,557.0 acres)--
Pooler Megasite, SR307/Dean Forest Road and Pine Meadow Road, Chatham 
County; and Proposed Site 14 (50.0 acres)--Georgia Ports Authority 
Terminal, 120 Crossgate Road, Savannah. The applicant is also 
requesting to include two of the existing sites as ``usage-driven'' 
sites and is requesting approval of the following additional ``usage-
driven'' site: Proposed Site 13 (31.0 acres)--Flint River Services, 101 
Progress Drive, Rincon. The applicant requests that non-contiguous 
portions of existing Sites 2 and 7 be renumbered to Sites 15 and 16 
respectively. The applicant also requests that FTZ designation be 
removed from Sites 2A, 4, 5, and 8. Because the ASF only pertains to 
establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application 
would have no impact on FTZ 104's authorized subzones.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Maureen Hinman 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 
November 1, 2010. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to November 15, 2010.
    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, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
