Foreign-Trade Zone 109—County of
Jefferson, NY; Application for
Reorganization and Expansion Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the County of Jefferson,
grantee of FTZ 109, 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); 75 FR 71069–71070,
11/22/10). 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 November
7, 2011.
FTZ 109 was approved by the Board
on November 5, 1984 (Board Order 278,
49 FR 44937, 11/13/84).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (115 acres)—
Jefferson County Industrial Park,
junction of I–81 and Coffeen Street,
Watertown; and, Site 2 (16 acres)—
Dexter Sulphite Mill, 349 Lakeview Dr.
& Stockton Avenue, Dexter.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the County of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:38 Nov 09, 2011
Jkt 226001
Jefferson, New York, 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 Alexandria Bay Customs
and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize and expand its existing
zone project to include existing Site 1 as
a ‘‘magnet’’ site and to remove existing
Site 2. The applicant has also requested
that Site 1 be expanded to include an
additional 95 acres. In addition, the
applicant is requesting approval of the
following new ‘‘magnet’’ sites: Proposed
Site 3 (122 acres), City Central Industrial
Park, Bellew Avenue South, Watertown;
and, Proposed Site 4 (1,059 acres)
located at the Corporate Park at
Watertown International Airport, NYS
Route 12F, 22529 Airport Drive, Dexter.
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. No usage-driven sites are
being requested at this time. Because the
ASF only pertains to establishing or
reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the
application would have no impact on
FTZ 109’s authorized subzone.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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 January 9, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to January 24, 2012.
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
