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

service area was expanded on March 1, 2017 (Board Order 2030, 82 FR 
13578, March 14, 2017). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes the Counties of Dyer, Gibson, Haywood, Lake, Lauderdale, 
Madison, Obion, Tipton, Fayette, Hardeman and McNairy, Tennessee.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Crockett County as well as portions of 
Weakley, Henry, Carroll and Henderson Counties, as described in the 
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The application indicates that the proposed expanded 
service area is adjacent to the Memphis Customs and Border Protection 
Port of Entry.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce of 
the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts 
and information presented in the application and case record and to

shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the
