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. 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 May 15, 2017. FTZ 19 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 27, 1983 (Board Order 204, 48 FR 5772, February 8, 1983). The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (17 acres)—Cargo Zone, LLC, 6200 North 16th Street, Omaha; and, Site 2 (38 acres)—Riverfront Industrial Park, Abbott Drive and Crown Point Avenue, Omaha. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Burt, Cass, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington Counties, Nebraska, 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 application indicates that the proposed service area is within and adjacent to the Omaha, Nebraska U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone to include both sites as ‘‘magnet’’ sites. 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. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being requested at this time. The application would have no impact on FTZ 19’s previously authorized subzone.

Valeo already has authority to produce air-conditioner compressor assemblies for motor vehicles. The current request would add certain foreign-status components to the scope of authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ authority would be limited to the specific foreign status components described in the submitted notification (as described PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26435 below) and subsequently authorized by the FTZ Board. Production under FTZ procedures could exempt Valeo from customs duty payments on the foreign status components used in export production.

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, grantee of FTZ 19, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone 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. 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 May 15, 2017.
    FTZ 19 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 27, 1983 (Board 
Order 204, 48 FR 5772, February 8, 1983). The current zone includes the 
following sites: Site 1 (17 acres)--Cargo Zone, LLC, 6200 North 16th 
Street, Omaha; and, Site 2 (38 acres)--Riverfront Industrial Park, 
Abbott Drive and Crown Point Avenue, Omaha.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Burt, 
Cass, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders and Washington Counties, 
Nebraska, 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 application indicates that 
the proposed service area is within and adjacent to the Omaha, Nebraska 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include both sites as ``magnet'' sites. 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. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being 
requested at this time. The application would have no impact on FTZ 
19's previously authorized subzone.
    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 August 7, 2017. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
