Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Adopted Adjustments to Alternative
Site Framework
The Foreign-Trade Zones
(FTZ) Board has adopted minor
adjustments to its practice pertaining to
the alternative site framework (ASF)
originally adopted by the Board in
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09;
correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) as an
option for grantees to designate and
manage their general-purpose FTZ sites.
The adjustments stem from a staff
proposal published in August 2010 (75

71069
FR 46916, 8/4/2010). The adopted
adjustments take into account
comments received on the staff
proposal.
The comments received on the staff
proposal and the FTZ Staff’s analysis
pertaining to the comments and the
proposed adjustments are contained in
a staff report available in the ‘‘Reading
Room’’ section of the FTZ Board’s Web
site, which can be accessed via https://
www.trade.gov/ftz. The two adjustments
proposed by the staff and adopted by
the Board are summarized as follows:
(1) Eliminate the site-specific
allotment of a given grantee’s 2,000-acre
activation limit (including for FTZs
already reorganized or with applications
pending for reorganization under the
ASF). Replace the site-specific allotment
with a procedure—once the Online FTZ
Information System (OFIS) currently
under development is available and
appropriate training has been provided
to grantees—whereby the grantees use
the OFIS online system to update
information on each site’s activated
space.
(2) For ASF applications, allow two
general options for documentation
pertaining to jurisdictions (ordinarily
counties) within the service area:
(a) Submitting letters from
appropriate county officials
acknowledging the proposed inclusion
of their counties in the service area of
the zone, and presenting their views on
the proposal; or,
(b) In the absence of letters from
appropriate county officials, submission
of evidence that appropriate officials of
the affected counties were notified of
the proposal and were provided
information on how they could submit
comments to the FTZ Board regarding
the proposal. For this option, a grantee
should be required to use standard
language provided by the FTZ Board
staff, thereby ensuring that clear
explanation and instructions were given
to appropriate officials of the affected
counties.
In the absence of governments at the
county level, the publication of local
public notice regarding the application
should allow a full range of appropriate
local public officials to be informed of
the application and to submit comments
if they wish to do so. However, if a
grantee will be relying on the
publication of local public notice due to
an absence of governments at the county
level, the grantee should explain that
situation within the body of the
‘‘application letter’’ signed by an
authorized grantee official.
In response to a comment received,
the FTZ Board has also adopted a
recommendation to clarify that a site

can be designated as Usage-Driven so
long at the site falls within the grantee’s
service area (i.e., meets the standard
general-purpose FTZ adjacency
requirement), has appropriate zoning
(i.e., can accommodate the types of uses
ordinarily associated with generalpurpose FTZ activity) and is tied to a
single operator’s or user’s use.
On November 15, 2010, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination, that an industry in the
United States is threatened with
material injury by reason of LTFV
imports of copper pipe and tube from
Mexico and the PRC.2
Dated: November 16, 2010.

Amendment to the Final Determination
of Sales at LTFV From Mexico
On October 1, 2010, the Department
published its affirmative final
determination of sales at LTFV of
copper pipe and tube from Mexico.3 On
October 6, 2010, Nacional de Cobre,
S.A. de C.V. (‘‘Nacobre’’), a respondent
in the investigation, submitted a timely
ministerial error allegation and
requested, pursuant to section 735(e) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(c), that the
Department correct an alleged
ministerial error in the dumping margin
calculations.4 The Department did not
receive any rebuttal comments.
After analyzing Nacobre’s allegation,
the Department determined, in
accordance with section 735(e) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), that it made
a ministerial error in its calculations for
the Final Determination of Sales at
LTFV from Mexico. Specifically, the

Foreign-Trade Zones Board
Adopted Adjustments to Alternative Site Framework
SUMMARY: The Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board has adopted minor
adjustments to its practice pertaining to the alternative site
framework (ASF) originally adopted by the Board in December 2008 (74 FR
1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) as an option for
grantees to designate and manage their general-purpose FTZ sites. The
adjustments stem from a staff proposal published in August 2010 (75 FR
46916, 8/4/2010). The adopted adjustments take into account comments
received on the staff proposal.
The comments received on the staff proposal and the FTZ Staff's
analysis pertaining to the comments and the proposed adjustments are
contained in a staff report available in the ``Reading Room'' section
of the FTZ Board's Web site, which can be accessed via https://www.trade.gov/ftz. The two adjustments proposed by the staff and
adopted by the Board are summarized as follows:
(1) Eliminate the site-specific allotment of a given grantee's
2,000-acre activation limit (including for FTZs already reorganized or
with applications pending for reorganization under the ASF). Replace
the site-specific allotment with a procedure--once the Online FTZ
Information System (OFIS) currently under development is available and
appropriate training has been provided to grantees--whereby the
grantees use the OFIS online system to update information on each
site's activated space.
(2) For ASF applications, allow two general options for
documentation pertaining to jurisdictions (ordinarily counties) within
the service area:
(a) Submitting letters from appropriate county officials
acknowledging the proposed inclusion of their counties in the service
area of the zone, and presenting their views on the proposal; or,
(b) In the absence of letters from appropriate county officials,
submission of evidence that appropriate officials of the affected
counties were notified of the proposal and were provided information on
how they could submit comments to the FTZ Board regarding the proposal.
For this option, a grantee should be required to use standard language
provided by the FTZ Board staff, thereby ensuring that clear
explanation and instructions were given to appropriate officials of the
affected counties.
In the absence of governments at the county level, the publication
of local public notice regarding the application should allow a full
range of appropriate local public officials to be informed of the
application and to submit comments if they wish to do so. However, if a
grantee will be relying on the publication of local public notice due
to an absence of governments at the county level, the grantee should
explain that situation within the body of the ``application letter''
signed by an authorized grantee official.
In response to a comment received, the FTZ Board has also adopted a
recommendation to clarify that a site

can be designated as Usage-Driven so long at the site falls within the
grantee's service area (i.e., meets the standard general-purpose FTZ
adjacency requirement), has appropriate zoning (i.e., can accommodate

activity) and is tied to a single operator's or user's use.
