  1. [B-43-2026]

An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by the St. Louis County Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 102, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its service area under the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on May 4, 2026.

FTZ 102 was approved by the FTZ Board on April 27, 1984 (Board Order 251, 49 FR 19540, May 8, 1984) and reorganized under the ASF on June 22, 2011 (Board Order 1772, 76 FR 38357, June 30, 2011). The zone currently has a service area that includes the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County, Missouri.

The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service area of the zone to include St. Charles County, 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 St. Louis Customs and Border Protection Port of Entry.

In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans 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: . The closing period for their receipt is July 6, 2026. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing ( printed page 24804) period may be submitted through July 21, 2026.

A copy of the application will be available for public inspection in the “Online FTZ Information Section” section of the FTZ Board's website, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/​ftz. For further information, contact Camille Evans at .

Dated: May 4, 2026.

Elizabeth Whiteman,

Executive Secretary.
