Union, Washington, Webster, and
Woodford Counties, Kentucky, 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

Border Protection ports of entry.

existing Sites 1, 4, 7, 9, 11 and 15 as

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 would have no impact
on FTZ 29’s previously authorized

An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the Greater Mississippi Foreign-Trade
Zone, Inc., grantee of FTZ 158,
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 April
10, 2018.
FTZ 158 was approved by the FTZ
Board on April 11, 1989 (Board Order
430, 54 FR 15480 April 18, 1989) and
expanded on March 8, 2005 (Board

2005), on October 18, 2002 (Board Order
1864, 77 FR 65359–65360, October 26,
2012), and on May 23, 2013 (Board
Order 1900, 78 FR 33340, June 4, 2013).
The current zone includes the
following sites: Site 2 (2,242 acres)—
Jackson International Airport Complex,
100 International Drive, Jackson; Site 10
(989 acres)—Airport Industrial Park, Air
Park Road at Old Runway Road, Tupelo;
Site 11 (277 acres)—South Green
Industrial Complex, adjacent to U.S.
Highway 45 and the Kansas City
Southern Railroad, Tupelo; Site 14 (128
acres)—Burlington Northern Industrial
Park, along U.S. Highway 78 (I–22) and
MS Highway 178 Interchange, Tupelo;
Site 15 (699 acres)—Harry A. Martin
North Lee Industrial Complex,
Intersection of U.S. Highway 45 and
Pratts Road, Tupelo; Site 16 (284
acres)—Turner Industrial Park, U.S.
Highway 45 and MS Highway 145
Interchange, Tupelo; Site 17 (540
acres)—Tupelo Industrial Park South,
U.S. Highway 45 and Brewer Road

under the ASF would be Claiborne,
Hinds, Madison, Marshall, Pontotoc,
Rankin, Tate, Warren and Washington
Counties, Mississippi in their entirety,
and portions of Lee and Tishomingo
Counties, Mississippi, 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 following Customs and Border
Protection ports of entry: Vicksburg and
Greenville, Mississippi; Memphis,
Tennessee; and, Huntsville, Alabama.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone to include
all of the existing 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 2 be so
exempted. The application would have
no impact on FTZ 158’s previously
