Foreign-Trade Zone 5—Seattle, WA;
Application for Reorganization/
Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Port of Seattle,
grantee of FTZ 5, requesting authority to
reorganize and expand the zone under
the alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/
09; correction 74 FR 3987, 1/22/09). The
ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ
sites for operators/users located within
a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context
of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. 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 filed
on April 29, 2010.
FTZ 5 was approved by the Board on
June 27, 1949 (Board Order 19, 14 FR
3686, 07/02/49) and had the boundaries
modified on January 19, 1953 (Board
Order 31, 18 FR 556, 01/24/53). FTZ 5
was relocated on February 27, 1959
(Board Order 48, 24 FR 1686, 03/06/59),
on August 14, 1964 (Board Order 63, 29
FR 11987, 08/21/64), and on August 25,
1976 (Board Order 111, 41 FR 36847,
09/01/76). FTZ 5 was expanded on
September 25, 1989 (Board Order 432,
54 FR 40154, 09/29/89).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (955 acres)—Port
of Seattle Seaport, 2711 Alaskan Way,
Seattle; Site 2 (436.68 acres)—Seattle/
Tacoma International Airport, 17801
International Boulevard, Seattle; Site 3
(0.45 acres)—9875 40th Avenue South,
Seattle, and Site 4 (2.75 acres)—20607
59th Place South, Kent.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the
Washington counties of King and
Snohomish (dependent on case-by-case

concurrence from the Port of Everett for
the latter county), 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
proposed service area is within and
adjacent to the Puget Sound Customs
and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include existing sites 1, 2 and 4 as
‘‘magnet’’ sites and existing Site 3 as a
‘‘usage-driven’’ site. 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 applicant is also
requesting approval of the following
initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ site: Proposed Site
5 (3.84 acres)—Wilson Sporting Goods/
Precor Incorporated, 6617 Associated
Boulevard, Everett, WA.
In accordance with the 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 Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for
their receipt is July 6, 2010. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to July 19, 2010.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,
DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading
Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site,
which is accessible via https://
www.trade.gov/ftz. For further
information, contact Christopher Kemp
at Christopher.Kemp@trade.gov or (202)
482–0862.
The Foreign–Trade Zones Board
(FTZ) Board (the Board) has considered
the application (filed 12/01/09)
submitted by the Culpeper County
Chamber of Commerce, grantee of FTZ
185, requesting reissuance of the grant
of authority for said zone to the County
of Culpeper, a public corporation,
which has accepted such reissuance
subject to approval by the FTZ Board.
Upon review, the Board finds that the
requirements of the FTZ Act and the
Board’s regulations are satisfied, and
that the proposal is in the public
interest.
Therefore, the Board approves the
application and recognizes the County
of Culpeper as the new grantee of
Foreign–Trade Zone 185, subject to the
FTZ Act and the Board’s regulations,
including Section 400.28. The Secretary
of Commerce, as Chairman of the Board,
is hereby authorized to issue an
appropriate Board Order.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th
day of April 2010.
Dated: April 29, 2010.

Executive Secretary.

Foreign-Trade Zone 5--Seattle, WA; Application for
Reorganization/Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Port of Seattle, grantee of FTZ 5, requesting
authority to reorganize and expand the zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170, 1/12/09; correction

driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users located within a grantee's
``service area'' in the context of the Board's standard 2,000-acre

U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It
was formally filed on April 29, 2010.
FTZ 5 was approved by the Board on June 27, 1949 (Board Order 19,

The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the
Washington counties of King and Snohomish (dependent on case-by-case
concurrence from the Port of Everett for the latter county), as
