Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 49-2011]
Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Brunswick, ME; Application
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority to
establish a general-purpose foreign-trade zone at a site in Brunswick,
Maine, adjacent to the Portland CBP port of entry. The application was
submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 filed on July 26, 2011. The applicant is
authorized to make the proposal under Maine Statute Title 5, Section
13083-Q.
The proposed zone would be the second general-purpose zone for the
Portland CBP port of entry. The existing zone is as follows: FTZ 263,
Auburn, Maine (Grantee: Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council, Board
Order 1354, 10/01/04).
The proposed zone would consist of one site in Brunswick, Maine:
Proposed Site 1 (394 acres)--within the 3,200-acre Brunswick Landing's
Airport complex located at the intersection of Bath Road and Fitch
Avenue. The site is owned by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment
Authority.
The application indicates a need for zone services in the
Brunswick, Maine area. Several firms have indicated an interest in
using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for a
variety of products. Specific manufacturing approvals are not being
sought at this time. Such requests would be made to the Board on a
case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the 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 report
findings and recommendations to the Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is
September 30, 2011. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period to October 17, 2011.
A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board,
Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW.,
