Foreign-Trade Zone 145--Shreveport, Louisiana, Application for
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Caddo-Bossier Parishes Port Commission, grantee of FTZ
145, requesting authority to reorganize 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
[[Page 33980]]
``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. 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 June 22, 2021.
FTZ 145 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 7, 1988 (Board
Order 370, 53 FR 1503, January 20, 1988) and expanded on March 25, 1996
(Board Order 809, 61 FR 15217, April 5, 1996). The current zone
includes the following sites: Site 1 (262 acres)--Shreveport Industrial
Park, 2929 Baird Road, Shreveport; and, Site 2 (2,000 acres)--Port of
Shreveport-Bossier Terminal Complex, 6000 Doug Attaway Boulevard,
Shreveport.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Caddo
and Bossier Parishes, Louisiana, 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 Shreveport Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing
zone to include both of the existing sites 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 2 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-
driven sites are being requested at this time. The application would
have no impact on FTZ 145's previously authorized subzones.
In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans 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:
