Foreign-Trade Zone 31—Granite City,
Illinois; Application for Reorganization
and Expansion Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
America’s Central Port District, grantee
of FTZ 31, 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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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),
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:57 Feb 08, 2018
Jkt 244001
and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR
part 400). It was formally docketed on
February 5, 2018.
FTZ 31 was approved by the FTZ
Board on September 6, 1977 (Board
Order 122, 42 FR 46568; September 16,
1977) and expanded on January 16,
1985 (Board Order 289, 50 FR 3371;
January 24, 1985) and October 3, 2003
(Board Order 1304, (68 FR 59162;
October 14, 2003).
The current zone includes the
following sites: Site 1 (47 acres)—TriCity Regional Port Complex, 2801 Rock
Road, Granite City; Site 3 (4.79 acres)—
Fox Industries, 1100 Niedringhaus
Avenue, Granite City; Site 4 (2.82
acres)—Port District Industrial Park and
Transportation Center, 1000 and 2000
Access Road, Madison; Site 5 (2,254
acres)—Gateway Commerce Center,
Intersection of 270 and I–255,
Edwardsville; Site 6 (458 acres)—River’s
Edge Industrial Park, 1635 West First
Street, Granite City; and, Site 7 (3,851
acres)—MidAmerica Airport,
Intersection of I–64 and Route 4,
Mascoutah.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Bond,
Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Jersey,
Macoupin, Madison, Monroe,
Montgomery, Randolph, St. Clair, and
Washington Counties, Illinois, 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 St. Louis Customs
and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its zone to include existing
Sites 1, 5 and 7 as ‘‘magnet’’ sites. The
applicant requests that existing Site 1 be
expanded to include the full port area
and that existing Sites 4 and 6 be
included as part of the expanded Site 1.
As requested, the expanded Site 1
would total 1,530.6 acres. 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 the removal
of Site 3 as well as Subzones 31A and
31C. The application would have no
impact on Subzone 31B.
In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
