Foreign-Trade Zone 189—Kent,
Ottawa, and Muskegon Counties, MI;
Application for Reorganization Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Kent-OttawaMuskegon Foreign-Trade Zone
Authority, grantee of FTZ 189,
requesting authority to reorganize 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 March 1,
2012.
FTZ 189 was approved by the Board
on January 15, 1993 (Board Order 616,
58 FR 6614, 2/1/1993). The current zone
project includes the following sites: Site
1 (8 acres)—44th Street and Clay
Avenue, Wyoming, Kent County; Site 2
(18 acres)—1920 Lakeshore Drive,
Muskegon, Muskegon County; Site 3 (64
acres)—5353 52nd Street, Cascade
Township, Kent County; Site 4 (40
acres)—500 Mart Street, Muskegon,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:20 Mar 07, 2012
Jkt 226001
Muskegon County; Site 5 (5 acres)—449
Howard Avenue, Holland Township,
Ottawa County; Site 6 (80 acres)—48th
& Thornapple River Drive, Cascade
Township, Kent County; Site 7 (1.15
acres)—1210 & 1218 East Pontaluna
Road, Norton Shores, Muskegon County;
Site 8 (15 acres)—900 Hall Street SW.,
Grand Rapids, Kent County; and Site 9
(6 acres)—2900 Dixie Street, Grandville,
Kent County.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Kent, Ottawa
and Muskegon Counties, Michigan, 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 Grand
Rapids Customs and Border Protection
port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project 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 9
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 189’s authorized subzones.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 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 May 7, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to May 22, 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
Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site,

Foreign-Trade Zone 189--Kent, Ottawa, and Muskegon Counties, MI;
Application for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Kent-Ottawa-Muskegon Foreign-Trade Zone
Authority, grantee of FTZ 189, requesting authority to reorganize 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

significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new ``usage-

U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It
was formally filed on March 1, 2012.
FTZ 189 was approved by the Board on January 15, 1993 (Board Order
616, 58 FR 6614, 2/1/1993). The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (8 acres)--44th Street and Clay Avenue,

Muskegon, Muskegon County; Site 3 (64 acres)--5353 52nd Street, Cascade
Township, Kent County; Site 4 (40 acres)--500 Mart Street, Muskegon,
Muskegon County; Site 5 (5 acres)--449 Howard Avenue, Holland Township,
Ottawa County; Site 6 (80 acres)--48th & Thornapple River Drive,
Cascade Township, Kent County; Site 7 (1.15 acres)--1210 & 1218 East
Pontaluna Road, Norton Shores, Muskegon County; Site 8 (15 acres)--900
Hall Street SW., Grand Rapids, Kent County; and Site 9 (6 acres)--2900
Dixie Street, Grandville, Kent County.
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Kent,
Ottawa and Muskegon Counties, Michigan, 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
Grand Rapids Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
