requesting authority to reorganize the zone under the alternative site 
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is

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 Board (15 CFR part 400). It

Border Protection ports of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing

limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and the applicant 
proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-driven sites are 
being requested at this time. The application would have no impact on 
FTZ 175's previously authorized subzone.
