If the information is not collected, RBS would not be able to make prudent credit decisions nor would the Agency be able to effectively monitor the lender’s servicing activities and thus minimize losses under the program.

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 indicates that the proposed service area is adjacent to the Morgan City Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing zone to include existing Sites 1 and 2 as ‘‘magnet’’ 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 Site 1 be so exempted. The applicant is also requesting to remove Site 3 from the zone. No subzones/usage-driven sites are being requested at this time.
