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 March 7, 2012. FTZ 93 was approved by the Board on November 4, 1983 (Board Order 233, 48 FR 52108, 11/16/83) and expanded on December 30, 2003 (Board Order 1314, 69 FR 1964–1965, 1/13/04). The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (121 acres)— Imperial Center Business Park, I–40 & New Page Road, Durham (Durham County); Site 1A (85 acres)—World Trade Park, 10900 World Trade Blvd., Raleigh (Wake and Durham Counties); Site 2 (6 acres)—Dudson China USA, 5604 Departure Drive, Raleigh (Wake County); and Site 3 (240 acres)—Holly Springs Business Park, 100 Green Oaks Parkway, Holly Springs (Wake County). The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Orange, Person, Vance, Wake, and Warren Counties, as described in the application. 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/adjacent to the RaleighDurham Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone project under the ASF as follows: renumber Site 1 as Site 4; renumber Site 1A as Site 1; Sites 1, 3, and 4 would become magnet sites; and, Site 2 would become a usagedriven site. The ASF allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and the applicant proposes that magnet Site 1 (as renumbered) would be so exempted. Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 93’s authorized subzones.

[Docket 13-2012]


Foreign-Trade Zone 93--Raleigh/Durham, NC; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Triangle J Council of Governments, grantee of 
FTZ 93, requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the 
alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170-1173, 
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 
March 7, 2012.
    FTZ 93 was approved by the Board on November 4, 1983 (Board Order 
233, 48 FR 52108, 11/16/83) and expanded on December 30, 2003 (Board 
Order 1314, 69 FR 1964-1965, 1/13/04).
    The current zone project includes the following sites: Site 1 (121 
acres)--Imperial Center Business Park, I-40 & New Page Road, Durham 
(Durham County); Site 1A (85 acres)--World Trade Park, 10900 World 
Trade Blvd., Raleigh (Wake and Durham Counties); Site 2 (6 acres)--
Dudson China USA, 5604 Departure Drive, Raleigh (Wake County); and Site 
3 (240 acres)--Holly Springs Business Park, 100 Green Oaks Parkway, 
Holly Springs (Wake County).
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Chatham, 
Durham, Franklin, Granville, Harnett, Johnston, Lee, Moore, Orange, 
Person, Vance, Wake, and Warren Counties, as described in the 
application. 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/adjacent to the 
Raleigh-Durham Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone project under the ASF as follows: renumber Site 1 as Site 4; 
renumber Site 1A as Site 1; Sites 1, 3, and 4 would become magnet 
sites; and, Site 2 would become a usage-driven site. The ASF allows for 
the possible exemption of one magnet site from the ``sunset'' time 
limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and the applicant 
proposes that magnet Site 1 (as renumbered) would be so exempted. 
Because the ASF only pertains to establishing or reorganizing a 
general-purpose zone, the application would have no impact on FTZ 93's 
authorized subzones.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce 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

2012. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to June 4, 2012.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection

Room 2111, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
