FTZ 45 was approved by the Board on December 18, 1978 (Board Order 140, 43 FR 60323, 12/27/1978) and expanded on April 5, 1991 (Board Order 518, 56 FR 16067, 04/19/1991). The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (1,830 acres)—Rivergate Industrial Park, Port Terminal Nos. 5 and 6, and the adjacent Oregon Steel Mills facilities, North Marine Drive and North Lombard Street, Portland; Site 2 (1,163 acres)— Portland International Airport and adjacent Portland International Center, 7000 NE Airport Way and NE Alderwood Road, Portland; Site 3 (254 acres)—Portland Ship Repair Yard, 5555 N. Channel Avenue, Portland; Site 4 (43 acres)—Port Terminal No. 1, 2220 NW Front Street, Portland; Site 5 (49 acres)—Port Terminal No. 2, 3556 NW Front Street, Portland; Site 6 (241 acres)—Port Terminal No. 4, Port Terminal Road and North Lombard Street, Portland; Site 7 (4 acres)— Tektronix Inc. 14400 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton; and, Site 8 (2.5 acres)— Physical Distribution, Inc., 3610 N. Suttle Road, Portland. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be all of Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington Counties, Oregon, 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 Portland, Oregon U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone project to include Sites 1, 2, 3 and 6 as ‘‘magnet’’ sites and Site 7 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 as part of the reorganization that Sites 4, 5 and 8 be removed from the zone project and that acreage be reduced at Site 2. In addition, the applicant is also requesting the approval of the following new magnet site: Proposed Site 9 (173 acres)—Gresham Vista Business Park, NE Glisan Street and SE Stark Street, between NE 223rd and NE 242nd Avenues, Gresham (Multnomah County).

The notification conforming to the requirements of the regulations of the Board (15 CFR 400.22) was received on January 10, 2013. The Signal facility is located at 91 Front Street, Orange (Orange County), Texas. A separate application for subzone status at the Signal facility was submitted and will be processed under Section 400.31 of the Board’s regulations. The facility is used for the construction and repair of oceangoing vessels. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b) of the regulations, FTZ activity would be limited to the specific foreign-status materials and components and specific finished products described in the submitted notification (as described below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Signal from customs duty payments on foreign status components used in export production. On its domestic sales, Signal would be able to choose the duty rate during customs entry procedures that apply to oceangoing vessels (duty rate—free) for the foreign status inputs noted below. Customs duties also could possibly be deferred or reduced on foreign status production equipment.

Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Northwest Iowa Development Corporation to establish 
a foreign-trade zone (FTZ) at sites in Northwest Iowa, adjacent to the 
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, CBP port of entry, under the alternative 
site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). 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 project. The 
application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 15, 
2013. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Iowa Code 
490.901.
    The proposed zone would be the second zone for the Sioux Falls CBP 
port of entry, but would be the first zone in Iowa adjacent to that 
port of entry. The existing zone is: FTZ 220, Sioux Falls, South Dakota 
(Grantee: Sioux Falls Development Foundation, Board Order 882, 4/8/
1997).
    The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Cherokee, Lyon, O'Brien, Osceola, Plymouth and Sioux Counties, Iowa. If 
approved, the applicant 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 Sioux Falls Customs 
and Border Protection port of entry.
    The proposed zone would include one ``magnet'' site: Proposed Site 
1 (417.4 acres)--City of Le Mars Industrial Park in the southwest 
corner of Le Mars bounded by the CN rail line to the west, Industrial 
Road/Lynx Road to the east and County Route 38 to the south in Plymouth 
County. The proposed zone would also include two initial ``usage-
driven'' sites: Proposed Site 2 (3.4 acres)--ChemSol, LLC, 1020 4th 
Avenue, Sibley, Osceola County; and Proposed Site 3 (0.15 acres)--
Hummingbird Calibra, 202-206 First Avenue, Rock Rapids, Lyon County.
    The application indicates a need for zone services in the Northwest 
Iowa, area. Several firms have indicated an interest in using zone 
procedures for warehousing/distribution activities. Specific production 
approvals are not being sought at this time. Such requests would be 
made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
    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.
