Foreign-Trade Zone 136  Brevard County, Florida; Application for
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) under Alternative Site Framework. An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by the Canaveral Port Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 136, 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 April 7, 2026.
FTZ 136 was approved by the FTZ Board on March 16, 1987 (Board Order 349, 52 FR 9904, March 27, 1987) and reorganized under the alternative site framework on June 18, 2012 (Board Order 1837, 77 FR 38270, June 27, 2012). The zone currently has a service area that includes Brevard County, Florida. The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service area of the zone to include Lake and Osceola Counties, Florida, 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 Orlando 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: ftz@trade.gov. The closing period for their receipt is June 8, 2026. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted through June 23, 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 Camille.Evans@trade.gov.
