    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the City of San Antonio, grantee of FTZ 80, 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 an option 
for grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones and can 
permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of 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 
was formally docketed on October 22, 2014.
    FTZ 80 was approved by the FTZ Board on September 16, 1982 (Board

Order 923, 62 FR 51831, 10/3/1997). The current zone includes the 
following sites in San Antonio: Site 1 (1.32 acres)--San Antonio

    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Bexar 
County in its entirety and portions of Comal and Guadalupe Counties,

be able to serve sites throughout the service area based on companies' 
needs for FTZ designation. The proposed service area is within and

    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone as follows: Renumber Site 7A as Site 7; Renumber Site 7B as Site

FTZ 80's previously authorized subzones.
