Foreign-Trade Zone 218--St. Lucie County, Florida, Application
for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by St. Lucie County, Florida, grantee of FTZ 218, 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 ``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 September 17, 2021.
FTZ 218 was approved by the FTZ Board on October 24, 1996 (Board
Order 851, 61 FR 58036, November 12, 1996). The current zone includes
the following sites: Site 1 (1,063 acres)--St. Lucie County
International Airport, 3000 Curtis King Boulevard, Fort Pierce; Site 2
(102 acres)--Kings Highway Industrial Park, Kings Highway and Commerce
Circle, Fort Pierce; Site 3 (315 acres)--St. Lucie West Commerce Park,
590 NW Peacock Boulevard, Port St. Lucie; and, Site 4 (15 acres)--
Crossroads Commerce
[[Page 52876]]
Park, State Road 70 and I-95, Fort Pierce.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be St.
Lucie County, Indian River County and Okeechobee County, 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 Fort Pierce U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Customs Station.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing
zone to include all 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 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-
driven sites are being requested at this time.
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:

foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
