Foreign-Trade Zone 15--Kansas City, Missouri; Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Greater Kansas City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 15, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to 
expand its service area and include a new magnet site 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 
FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on September 14, 
2021.
    FTZ 15 was approved by the FTZ Board on March 13, 1973 (Board Order 
93, 38 FR 8622, April 4, 1973), reorganized under the ASF on May 16, 
2014 (Board Order 1938, 79 FR 30079, May 27, 2014), and expanded under 
the ASF on October 25, 2018 (Board Order 2069, 83 FR 54711-54712, 
October 31, 2018). The zone currently has a service area that includes 
Andrew, Bates, Buchanan, Caldwell, Carroll, Cass, Chariton, Clay, 
Clinton, Cooper, Daviess, DeKalb, Henry, Howard, Jackson, Johnson, 
Lafayette, Livingston, Pettis, Platte, Ray and Saline Counties, 
Missouri.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Holt County, as described in the 
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The application indicates that the proposed expanded 
service area is adjacent to the Kansas City Customs and Border 
Protection Port of Entry.
    The applicant is also requesting to expand its zone to include an 
additional magnet site: Proposed Site 24 (31.85 acres)--Iowa Tribe of 
Kansas and Nebraska Distribution Center, 27598 Highway F, Holt County.
    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: 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#6006141a2014120104054e070f16"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="086e7c72487c7a696c6d266f677e">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is November 19, 
2021. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period

website, which is accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. For further
