Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Limon, Colorado Under Alternative 
Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Town of Limon, Colorado to establish a foreign-trade zone 
at sites in Limon, Colorado, adjacent to the Denver 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 
August 7, 2014. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under 
Colorado statute 7-49.5-102.
    The proposed zone would be the 3rd zone for the Denver CBP port of 
entry. The existing zones are as follows: FTZ 112, Colorado Springs, CO 
(Grantee: Colorado Springs Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., Board Order 281, 
49 FR 44936, 11/13/84); and, FTZ 123, Denver, CO (Grantee: City and 
County of Denver, Board Order 311, 50FR 34729, 08/27/1985).
    The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be Adams, 
Arapahoe and Morgan Counties, Colorado and portions of Elbert, Lincoln 
and Washington Counties, Colorado, 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 
application indicates that the proposed service area is within and 
adjacent to the Denver U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry.
    The proposed zone would include two ``magnet'' sites: Proposed Site 
1 (141.16 acres)--Big Sandy industrial area, 1055 Immel Street, Limon; 
Proposed Site 2 (280.3 acres)--East Airport industrial area, 21650 
State Highway 40, Limon. 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 application indicates a need for zone services in the Limon, 
Colorado area. 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 October 14, 
2014. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to October 27, 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.
    For further information, contact Christopher Kemp at
