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

(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

Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is March
18, 2013. Rebuttal comments in
