area 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

30, 2015 (Board Order 1964, 80 FR 7838-7839, February 12, 2015), and 
expanded under the ASF on February 28, 2018 (Board Order 2047, 83 FR 
9479, March 6, 2018). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes Harris County, Texas. There is a separate application pending 
with the FTZ Board to expand the service area to include Waller County 
(B-4-2023).
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Wharton County, Texas, as described in the 
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The application indicates that the proposed expanded 
service area is adjacent to the Houston Customs and Border Protection 
Port of Entry.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans of 
the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts 
and information presented in the application and case record and to 
report findings and recommendations to the FTZ Board.
