Foreign-Trade Zone 28--New Bedford, Massachusetts; Application
for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the City of New Bedford, grantee of FTZ 28, 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
[[Page 68123]]
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 November 7, 2022.
FTZ 28 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 5, 1977 (Board Order
117, 42 FR 18901, April 11, 1977).
The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (13.5
acres)--New Bedford Regional Airport, Aviation Way, New Bedford,
Bristol County; and, Site 2 (9 acres)--New Bedford Industrial Park,
John Vertente Blvd., New Bedford, Bristol County.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Bristol,
Barnstable, Dukes, Nantucket, Norfolk and Plymouth Counties,
Massachusetts, 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 New Bedford,
Massachusetts 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. No subzones/
usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. The application
would have no impact on FTZ 28's previously authorized subzones.
In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman
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#7f190b053f0b0d1e1b1a51181009"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0462707e4470766560612a636b72">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is January 13,
2023. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
to January 30, 2023.
