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 1 be so
exempted. No subzones/usage-driven
sites are being requested at this time.
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 and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is
September 30, 2019. Rebuttal comments
in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be
submitted during the subsequent 15-day
period to October 15, 2019.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s website, which is accessible via
www.trade.gov/ftz. For further
information, contact Christopher Kemp
at Christopher.Kemp@trade.gov or (202)
482–0862.
Whereas, the Board adopted the
alternative site framework (ASF) (15
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the
establishment or reorganization of
zones;
Whereas, the Lewiston-Auburn
Economic Growth Council, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 263, submitted an
application to the Board (FTZ Docket B–
79–2018, docketed December 19, 2018)
for authority to expand the service area
of the zone to include York County,
Maine, as described in the application,
adjacent to the Portland, Maine Customs
and Border Protection port of entry;
Whereas, notice inviting public
comment was given in the Federal
Register (83 FR 66675, December 27,
2018) and the application has been
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and
the Board’s regulations; and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the
findings and recommendations of the
examiner’s report, and finds that the
requirements of the FTZ Act and the
Board’s regulations are satisfied;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby
orders:
The application to reorganize FTZ 263
to expand the service area under the
ASF is approved, subject to the FTZ Act
and the Board’s regulations, including
Section 400.13, and to the Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
the zone.

likely to disclose information the
premature disclosure of which would,
