Foreign-Trade Zone 102--St. Louis, Missouri; Application for 
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) Under Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the St. Louis County Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 102, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its 
service area 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. The application was submitted pursuant to 
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 May 4, 2026.
    FTZ 102 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 27, 1984 (Board 
Order 251, 49 FR 19540, May 8, 1984) and reorganized under the ASF on 
June 22, 2011 (Board Order 1772, 76 FR 38357, June 30, 2011). The zone 
currently has a service area that includes the City of St. Louis and 
St. Louis County, Missouri.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include St. Charles County, as described in the 
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The application indicates that the proposed expanded 
service area is adjacent to the St. Louis Customs and Border Protection 
Port of Entry.
    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#3f594b457f4b4d5e5b5a11585049"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1076646a5064627174753e777f66">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is July 6, 2026. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing

period may be submitted through July 21, 2026.
