Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Jefferson County, Colorado; Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation, to
establish a foreign-trade zone in the Jefferson County, Colorado area,
adjacent to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) user fee
airport at the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, 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 project. 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 docketed on February 25, 2019. The applicant is authorized to
make the proposal under Title 7, Article 49.5 of the Colorado Revised
Statutes.
The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be
Boulder, Clear Creek, Gilpin and Jefferson Counties, Colorado. If
approved, the applicant 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 Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport CBP user fee
airport.
The application indicates a need for zone services in the Jefferson
County, Colorado area. Several firms have indicated an interest in
using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for a
variety of products. The application is not requesting any magnet sites
or subzones/usage-driven sites at this time. Specific production
approvals are not being sought at this time. Such requests would be
made to the FTZ Board on a case-by-case basis.

foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
