Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the County of Erie, grantee of FTZ 23,
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

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),

needs for FTZ designation. The
proposed service area is within and
adjacent to the Buffalo Customs and

Site 1 as a ‘‘magnet’’ site and Sites 5, 6,
