Persons with disabilities who require
alternative means for communication
(Braille, large print, audio tape, etc.)
should contact the USDA Target Center
at (202) 720–2600 (voice and TDD).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
February 7, 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill
(Pub. L. 113–79) was signed into law.
The Secretary of Agriculture and the
respective USDA agencies, including
RBS, are working to implement the
provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill as
expeditiously as possible to meet the
needs of stakeholders. To plan and
implement the newly authorized HFFI
program, it is important to engage with
our stakeholders to learn and
understand their comments, concerns,
or requests.
RBS will hold the HFFI listening
session on May 30, 2014, to receive oral
comments from stakeholders and the
public. Oral comments received from
this listening session will be
documented and/or recorded. All
attendees of this listening session who
submit oral comments must also submit
a written copy to help the agency
accurately capture public input. (See the
ADDRESSES section above for
information about submitting written
comments.) In addition, stakeholders
and the public who do not wish to
attend or speak at the listening session
are invited to submit written comments,
which must be received by May 30,
2014.
At the listening session, the focus is
for RBS to hear from the public; this is
not a discussion with RBS officials or a
question and answer session. As noted
above, the purpose is to receive public
input that RBS can consider in order to
implement the HFFI provision of the
2014 Farm Bill.
Date: May 30, 2014.
Time: 1:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m.
Location information: USDA
headquarters, in the Whitten Building,
1400 Jefferson Drive SW., Room 107A,
Washington, DC 20250.
The listening session will begin with
brief opening remarks from USDA
leadership in Rural Development and a
general background on HFFI. Individual
speakers providing oral comments are
requested to be succinct (no more than
5 minutes) as we do not know at this
time how many participants there will
be. As noted above, we request that
speakers providing oral comments also
provide a written copy of their
comments. (See the ADDRESSES section
above for information about submitting
written comments.) All stakeholders
and interested members of the public
are welcome to register to provide oral
comments; however, due to the time
constraints a limited number will be
selected on a first come, first serve basis.
Instructions for Attending the Meeting
Space for attendance at the meeting is
limited. Due to USDA headquarters
security and space requirements, all
persons wishing to attend the public
meeting or provide oral comments to
RBS during the listening session must
send an email to
Claudette.Fernandez@wdc.usda.gov by
May 26, 2014, to register the names of
those planning to attend. Registrations
will be accepted until maximum room
capacity is reached. To register, provide
the following information:
• First Name
• Last Name
• Organization
• Title
• Email
• Phone Number
• City
• State
Upon arrival at the USDA Whitten
Building, registered persons must
provide valid photo identification in
order to enter the building; visitors need
to enter the Whitten Building on the
mall side. Please allow extra time to get
through security. Additional
information about the listening session,
agenda, directions to get to the listening
session, and how to provide comments
are available at the USDA Farm Bill
Web sitehttps://www.usda.gov/wps/
portal/usda/usdahome?navid=farmbill.
All written comments received will be
publicly available on
www.regulations.gov. If you require
special accommodations, such as a sign
language interpreter, use the contact
information above. The listening session
location is accessible to persons with
disabilities.

Notice and opportunity for

ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade
Act 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2341
et seq.), the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) has received
petitions for certification of eligibility to
apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance
from the firms listed below.
Accordingly, EDA has initiated
investigations to determine whether
increased imports into the United States
of articles like or directly competitive

total or partial separation of the firm’s
workers, or threat thereof, and to a
decrease in sales or production of each
petitioning firm.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–36–2014]

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—
Eastern Coachella Valley, California
Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Four Winds Foreign Trade Zone
Corporation to establish a foreign-trade
zone at sites in the eastern Coachella
Valley area of Riverside and Imperial
Counties, California, adjacent to the
Calexico U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) port of entry, under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec.
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 FTZ 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 April
29, 2014. The applicant is authorized to
make the proposal under California
statute 6301–6305.
The proposed zone would be the
second zone for the Calexico CBP port
of entry. The existing zone is: FTZ 257,
Imperial County, California (Grantee:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:34 May 05, 2014
Jkt 232001
County of Imperial, California, Board
Order 1286, October 9, 2003, 68FR
61393, 10/28/2003).
The applicant’s proposed service area
under the ASF would include portions
of Riverside and Imperial Counties,
California, as described in the
application. 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 adjacent to the
Calexico CBP port of entry.
The proposed zone would include
two ‘‘magnet’’ sites: Proposed Site 1
(2,353 acres)—Jacqueline Cochran
Regional Airport, 56–850 Higgins Drive,
Thermal; and, Proposed Site 2 (1,160
acres)—Torres/Martinez/Desert/Cahuilla
Indians tribally-owned land, Hayes
Street and 64th Avenue, Riverside
County. 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 2 be so
exempted.
The application indicates a need for
zone services in the eastern Coachella
Valley of California. Several firms have
indicated an interest in using zone
procedures for warehousing/distribution
activities for a variety of products.
Specific production approvals are not
being sought at this time. Such requests
would be made to the FTZ Board on a
case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is July 7,
2014. Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to July 21,
2014.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s Web site, which is accessible
via www.trade.gov/ftz.
