Foreign-Trade Zone 183—Austin, TX;
Application for Reorganization Under
the Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the Foreign Trade Zone
of Central Texas, Inc., grantee of FTZ
183, requesting authority to reorganize
the zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the Board
(74 FR 1170–1173, 01/12/09 (correction
74 FR 3987, 01/22/09); 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

Counties, Texas. 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 Austin Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project to
include all of the existing sites as
‘‘magnet’’ sites. No usage-driven sites
are being requested at this time. Because
the ASF only pertains to establishing or
reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the
application would have no impact on
FTZ 183’s authorized subzones.
In accordance with the 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 Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions (original
and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
Board’s Executive Secretary at the
