srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with
Foreign-Trade Zone 3—San Francisco,
California; Application for Expansion
and Expansion of Service Area Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the San Francisco Port
Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade
Zone 3, requesting authority to expand
its service area under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board
(15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)), as well as to
include an additional usage-driven site.
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 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 Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally docketed on
January 9, 2013.
FTZ 3 was approved by the Board on
March 10, 1948 (Board Order 12, 13 FR
1459, 3/19/48) and the zone was
reorganized under the ASF on October
7, 2010 (Board Order 1718, 75 FR 64708,
10/20/2010). The zone project currently
has a service area that includes the City
and County of San Francisco and San
Mateo County, California.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the service area of
the zone to include Contra Costa, Marin
and Solano Counties, as well as portions
of Napa and Sonoma Counties,
California, 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 proposed expanded service area is
adjacent to the San Francisco U.S.
Customs and Border Protection Port of
Entry.
The applicant is also requesting
authority to include an additional
usage-driven site: Proposed Site 6 (15.5

2050 Park Road, Benicia, California
(Solano County).
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 shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is March
18, 2013. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
April 1, 2013.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room

project is open to all interested
organizations.
DATES: Interested parties must contact
NIST to request a certification letter.
Completed and signed certification
letters must be received by NIST by 5:00
p.m. Eastern time on March 1, 2013.
ADDRESSES: The NCCoE is located at
9600 Gudelsky Drive Rockville, MD

submitted to Karen Waltermire via
email at NCCoE@nist.gov; or via
hardcopy to NCCoE, National Institute
of Standards and Technology; 100
Bureau Drive; MS 2000 Gaithersburg,

Secure Exchange of Electronic Health
Information project will be available at:
https://nccoe.nist.gov/hit.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: The NCCoE, hosted by
NIST, is a public-private collaboration
for accelerating the widespread
adoption of integrated cybersecurity
tools and technologies. The NCCoE will
bring together experts from industry,
government, and academia under one
roof to develop practical, interoperable
cybersecurity approaches that address
the real world needs of complex
Information Technology (IT) systems.
By accelerating dissemination and use
of these integrated tools and
technologies for protecting IT assets, the
NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT
communications, data, and storage
systems; lower risk for companies and
individuals in the use of IT systems; and
encourage development of innovative,
job-creating cybersecurity products and
services. The project is not restricted to
organizations required to comply with
the standards and implementation
specifications promulgated under the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 or
to organizations using EHR technology
that complies with the standards,
implementation specifications, and
certification criteria promulgated under
the Health Information Technology for
Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)
Act of 2009. NIST expects that
participation in the project will help
participating organizations gain
knowledge that will help them comply
with these requirements.
Process: NIST is soliciting responses
from all sources of relevant security

capabilities (e.g., vendors, academia,
and integrators). Interested parties
should contact NIST using the
information provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this notice. Each interested party will be
provided with a certification letter,
which the party must complete and
submit to NIST by the date provided in
the DATES section of this notice. The
certification letter must be completed
and submitted to NIST by the
responding organization. NIST will
contact interested parties if there are
questions regarding the responsiveness
of the certification letters to the project
objective or project requirements
identified below. NIST will select
participants who have submitted
complete certification letters on a first
come, first served basis within each
category of product components or
capabilities listed below up to the
number of participants in each category
necessary to carry out this project.
Selected participants will be required to
enter into a consortium Cooperative
Research and Development Agreement
(CRADA) with NIST. NIST published a
notice in the Federal Register on
October 19, 2012 (77 FR 64314) inviting
U.S. companies to enter into ‘‘National
Cybersecurity Excellence Partnerships’’
(NCEPs) in furtherance of the NCCoE.
For this demonstration project NCEP
partners will not be given priority for
participation.
Project Objective: Healthcare
providers increasingly need to securely
exchange electronic health information
with each other. The confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of this
information must be protected. Secure
exchange of electronic health
information is often particularly
challenging for small healthcare
providers, who may lack the security
infrastructure or expertise that larger
healthcare providers possess. Other
challenges with secure electronic health
information exchange include the
variety of client devices (desktops,
laptops, and mobile devices) and the
range of healthcare data exchange
standards.
Major security concerns for secure
electronic health information exchange
include, but are not limited to, the
following categories:
• Lack of physical security controls
(e.g., increased risk of loss or theft for
mobile devices, public proximity to
client devices)
• Use of untrusted client devices
(lack of security features or
circumvention of those features)
• Use of untrusted networks (e.g.,
broadband, WiFi, WiMAX, cellular
networks)
