Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Plaquemines Port, Harbor & Terminal District (PPHTD) to
establish a foreign-trade zone in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, 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 project. The application was submitted pursuant to the
provisions of 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 March 22, 2022. The applicant is authorized to
make the proposal under Louisiana Revised Statues, Title 51, Sections
61-65.
The proposed zone would be the second zone for the New Orleans U.S.
Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The existing zone is as
follows: FTZ 2, New Orleans (Grantee: Port of New Orleans, Board Order
12, July 16, 1946).
The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. If approved, the applicant 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 New Orleans Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The proposed zone would include a ``magnet'' site: Proposed Site 1
(276.6 acres)--PPHTD Parcel No. 8337286, located on Highway 23 near
Hermitage Road in Port Sulfur. 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.
[[Page 17269]]
The application indicates a need for zone services in the
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, area. Several firms have indicated an
interest in using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution
activities for a variety of products. Specific production approvals are
not being sought at this time. Such requests would be made to the FTZ
Board on a case-by-case basis.
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#b2d4c6c8f2c6c0d3d6d79cd5ddc4"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cbadbfb18bbfb9aaafaee5aca4bd">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is May 27, 2022.
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
to June 13, 2022.
A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
in the ``Online FTZ Information Section'' section of the FTZ Board's
website, which is accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>.
