Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Western North Carolina Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Land of Sky Regional Council to establish a foreign-trade
zone in the western North Carolina area, under the alternative site
framework (ASF)
[[Page 51652]]
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 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 Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on August 17,
2022. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Chapter
55C of the North Carolina State Enabling Legislation. The proposed zone
would be the first zone in North Carolina for the Greenville-
Spartanburg, South Carolina Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port of
entry.
The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be all of
Henderson County, North Carolina as well as portions of Buncombe,
Haywood, Jackson and Transylvania Counties, North Carolina, as
described in the application. 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 adjacent to the Greenville-Spartanburg CBP port of
entry.
Initially, the proposed zone would include one ``usage-driven''
site located in Buncombe County: Proposed Site 1 (1.97 acres)--Moog
Music Inc., 160 Broadway Street, Asheville.
The application indicates a need for zone services in western North
Carolina. 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, 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#d1b7a5ab91a5a3b0b5b4ffb6bea7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cdabb9b78db9bfaca9a8e3aaa2bb">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is October 24,
2022. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
to November 7, 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>.
