Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Clallam County, Washington State
Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Port of Port Angeles to establish a foreign-trade zone in
Clallam County, Washington, 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 project. The
application was
[[Page 45821]]
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 May 20, 2024. The applicant is
authorized to make the proposal under Revised Code of Washington, title
53, chapter 53.08, section 53.08.030, Operation of foreign trade zones.
The proposed zone would be the first zone for the Port Angeles
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port of entry.
The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be
Clallam County. 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 Port Angeles Customs and Border
Protection port of entry.
The proposed zone would include two ``magnet'' sites: Proposed Site
1 (790 acres)--William R. Fairchild Airport, 1402 Fairchild Airport
Road, Port Angeles; and, Proposed Site 2 (249 acres)--Port Angeles
Waterfront, Port Angeles. 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.
The application indicates a need for zone services in Clallam
County, Washington. 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, Qahira El-Amin 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:

Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
