the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on April 21, 2015.
The Outokumpu facility is located
within Subzone 82I. The facility is used
for the production of stainless steel mill
products. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
FTZ activity would be limited to the
specific foreign-status materials/
components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Outokumpu from customs
duty payments on the foreign status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales,
Outokumpu would be able to choose the
duty rates during customs entry
procedures that apply to: Granulated
slag (slag sand); slag, dross and scalings;
stainless steel in ingots and other
primary forms; hot-rolled stainless steel
coils; hot-rolled stainless steel not in
coils; cold-rolled stainless steel not in
coils; and, stainless steel sheets and
plates (duty-free) for the foreign status
materials/components noted below.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign status
production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include: Fluorspar
containing by weight 97% or less of
calcium fluoride; ferromanganese
containing by weight more than 1% but
less than 2% of carbon; ferromanganese
containing by weight not more than 1%
of carbon; ferrosilicon containing by
weight more than 80% but not more
than 90% silicon; ferrosilicon
containing by weight more than 90%
silicon; ferrochromium; ferronickel;
ferro-niobium; ferro-boron; copper
waste and scrap; unwrought nickel;
unwrought nickel alloys; unwrought
aluminum (other than alloy); unwrought
molybdenum, including bars and rods
obtained by simple sintering;
unwrought titanium in rock or powder
form; titanium castings; and, titanium in
bars, rods, profiles and wires (duty rate
ranges from duty-free to 15%). The
request indicates that ferrosilicon may
be subject to an antidumping/
countervailing duty (AD/CVD) order.
The FTZ Board’s regulations (15 CFR
400.14(e)) require that merchandise
subject to AD/CVD actions be admitted
to the zone in privileged foreign status
(19 CFR 146.41). In addition, the request
indicates that all foreign status
ferrosilicon, molybdenum and titanium
classified under HTSUS Subheadings
7202.21, 8102.94, 8108.20 and 8108.90
will be admitted to the subzone in
privileged foreign status (19 CFR

Foreign-Trade Zone 82—Mobile,
Alabama; Application for
Reorganization and Expansion Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the City of Mobile, grantee of FTZ 82,
requesting authority to reorganize and
expand the zone under the alternative
site framework (ASF) adopted by the
FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec. 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 May
1, 2015.
FTZ 82 was approved by the FTZ
Board on February 24, 1982 (Board
Order 208, 48 FR 9052, 3/3/1983) and
expanded on February 27, 1990 (Board
Order 464, 55 FR 8159, 3/7/1990) and
on December 19, 2003 (Board Order
1312, 69 FR 48, 1/2/2004).

3405/3425 Hurricane Bay Drive,
Theodore. (Note: Sites 5, 6, 8, 10, 11 and
12 have sunsetted pursuant to Board
Order 1312.)
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the Counties of
Mobile, Baldwin, Butler, Choctaw,
Clarke, Conecuh, Escambia, Monroe,
Washington and Wilcox, 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 and
adjacent to the Mobile Customs and
Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize and expand its existing
zone as follows: Restore 80 acres at Site
1 (new acreage—1,943 acres); Sites 1 (as
modified), 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13 and 18 would
become ‘‘magnet’’ sites; and, Sites 14,
15, 16, 17 and 19 would become ‘‘usagedriven’’ sites. 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
modified Site 1 be so exempted. The
application would have no impact on
FTZ 82’s previously authorized
subzones.

to secure appropriate meetings with
productive contacts in the target
markets.
Summer programs seeking to
participate should be appropriately
accredited by an accreditation body
recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education. Community colleges,
undergraduate and graduate programs
seeking to participate should be
accredited by a recognized accreditation
body listed in Council for Higher

Foreign-Trade Zone 82--Mobile, Alabama; Application for
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the City of Mobile, grantee of FTZ 82, requesting authority to
reorganize and expand the zone under the alternative site framework
(ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec. 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 May 1, 2015.
FTZ 82 was approved by the FTZ Board on February 24, 1982 (Board
Order 208, 48 FR 9052, 3/3/1983) and expanded on February 27, 1990
(Board Order 464, 55 FR 8159, 3/7/1990) and on December 19, 2003 (Board
Order 1312, 69 FR 48, 1/2/2004).
The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (1,863
acres)--Downtown Mobile Airport, Port and Riverfront Industrial
Complex, Mobile; Site 2 (3,169 acres)--LeMoyne Industrial Park, located
on U.S. Highway 43, LeMoyne; Site 3 (70 acres)--Mobile River Industrial
Park, located on U.S. Highway 43, Saraland; Site 4 (34 acres)--Frisco
Industrial Park, located on Craft Highway, Mobile and Prichard; Site 7
(3,364 acres)--Theodore Industrial Complex, located on the western
shore of Mobile Bay, Theodore; Site 9 (221 acres)--Loxley Industrial
Park, located near County Highway 49, Loxley; Site 13 (31 acres,
expires 4/30/2016)--warehouse complex, 1200 Papermill Road, Mobile;
Site 14 (6 acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade
Services, 6955 Cary Hamilton Road, Theodore; Site 15 (15 acres, expires
4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade Services, 200 Callahan Drive,
1501 Telegraph Road and 1816/1818 Craft Highway, Prichard; Site 16 (3
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade Services, 1510
Telegraph Road, Mobile; Site 17 (6 acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro
International Trade Services, 1204 Telegraph Road, Mobile; Site 18 (10
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--John Fayard Moving & Warehousing, L.L.C.,
warehouse complex, 6030 Rangeline Road, Theodore; and, Site 19 (4
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Technip UK, Ltd., 3405/3425 Hurricane Bay
Drive, Theodore. (Note: Sites 5, 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12 have sunsetted
pursuant to Board Order 1312.)
The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the
Counties of Mobile, Baldwin, Butler, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh,
Escambia, Monroe, Washington and Wilcox, 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 and adjacent to the
Mobile Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its
existing zone as follows: Restore 80 acres at Site 1 (new acreage--
1,943 acres); Sites 1 (as modified), 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13 and 18 would
become ``magnet'' sites; and, Sites 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 would become
``usage-driven'' sites. 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 modified Site 1 be
so exempted. The application would have no impact on FTZ 82's
previously authorized subzones.
