Foreign-Trade Zone 255--Washington County, Maryland, State;
Application for Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Board of County Commissioners of Washington County,
grantee of FTZ 255, requesting authority to reorganize and expand 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 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
[[Page 24162]]
400). It was formally docketed on April 13, 2023.
FTZ 255 was approved by the FTZ Board on July 3, 2002 (Board Order
1232, 67 FR 48877-48878, July 26, 2002).
The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (276 acres)--
Lakeside Corporate Center, 200 Castle Drive, Cascade; Site 2 (443
acres)--Hagerstown Regional Airport Complex/Bowman Airpark, 18434
Showalter Road, Hagerstown; Site 4 (438 acres)--Hunter's Green/Hopewell
Valley Industrial Complex, Hopewell Road and Halfway Boulevard,
Hagerstown; Site 6 (172 acres)--Interstate Industrial Park, 10228
Governor Lane Boulevard, Williamsport; and, Site 7 (129 acres)--Mellott
Enterprises Industrial Complex, Resley Street, north of Maryland
Avenue, Hancock.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be
Washington County, Maryland, 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 adjacent to the
Baltimore U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
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 2 be so exempted. The applicant is
also requesting approval of the following subzone: Proposed Subzone
255A (94.7 acres)--Conair LLC, 10440 Downsville Pike, Hagerstown.
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:
