Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Nevada Development
Authority, grantee of FTZ 89, requesting
authority to reorganize and expand the
zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board
(74 FR 1170, 1/12/09 (correction 74 FR
3987, 1/22/09); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/
22/10). The ASF is an option for
grantees for the establishment or
reorganization of general-purpose zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new
‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/
users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service
area’’ in the context of the Board’s
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
a general-purpose zone project. The
application was submitted pursuant to
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 November
29, 2011.
FTZ 89 was approved by the Board on
November 7, 1983 (Board Order 227, 48
FR 51665, 11/10/1983) and expanded on
December 4, 1989 (Board Order 452,54
FR 50787, 12/11/1989), March 11, 1994
(Board Order 688, 59 FR 12893, 3/18/
1994) and June 22, 2010 (Board Order
1688, 75 FR 38778, 07/06/2010).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1: (23 acres)—Las
Vegas Convention Center, Las Vegas;
Site 3: (Two parcels, 317 acres and
120,000 sq. ft.)—within the Hughes
Airport Center Industrial Park, adjacent
to McCarran International Airport, Las
Vegas; Site 4: (37 acres)—North Las
Vegas Business Center, North Las Vegas;
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
Site 5: (516 acres)—AMPAC

31/2012), Las Vegas; and, Site 9: (365
acres)—City View Business Park,
Interstate 15 and State Road 604, North
Las Vegas.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be all of Clark
County, Nevada. If approved, the
grantee would be able to-serve sites
throughout the service area based on
companies’ needs for FTZ designation.
The proposed service area is within and
adjacent to the Las Vegas U.S. Customs
and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include existing sites 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and
9 as ‘‘magnet’’ sites and existing Site 8
as a ‘‘usage-driven’’ site. The applicant
is also requesting approval of the
following initial ‘‘usage-driven’’ sites:
Proposed Site 10 (9.93 acres)—Levi
Straus & Company, 7600 Eastgate Road,
Henderson; and, Proposed Site 11 (60.55
acres)—Levi Straus & Company, 501
Executive Airport Drive, Henderson. In
addition, the applicant is requesting to
remove Site 4 due to changed
circumstances, as well as reduce the
amount of acreage at Site 5.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Christopher Kemp 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.
