Foreign-Trade Zone 83--Huntsville, Alabama; Application for
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Huntsville-Madison County Airport Authority, grantee of
FTZ 83, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec.
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. 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 29, 2021.
FTZ 83 was approved by the FTZ Board on February 24, 1983 (Board
Order 209, 48 FR 9052, March 3, 1983) and expanded on October 30, 1989
(Board Order 447, 54 FR 46430, November 3, 1989) and July 1, 1992
(Board Order 585, 57 FR 30717, July 10, 1992).
The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (1,550
acres)--Huntsville International Airport and Industrial Complex, Glenn
Hearn Boulevard, Huntsville; and, Site 2 (1,014 acres)--Mallard Creek
Industrial Park, Highway 72 and Red Hat Road, Decatur.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be
Cherokee, Colbert, Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale,
Lawrence, Limestone, Madison, Marshall, Marion, Morgan and Winston
Counties, Alabama, 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 Huntsville U.S.
Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing
zone to include both 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 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-driven sites are
being requested at this time. The application would have no impact on
FTZ 83's previously authorized subzones.
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:
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8debf9f7cdf9ffece9e8a3eae2fb"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e086949aa09492818485ce878f96">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is September 7,
2021. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
to September 20, 2021.

in the ``Reading Room'' section of the FTZ Board's website, which is
accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. For further information, contact

Executive Secretary.
