improve accuracy?

11:45–1:00 Panel 3—Trend Analysis 

• How has the available data changed 

over time in distribution of crimes 

by demographic category?

over time in distribution of crimes 

by location?

increases or decreases in overall 

crimes in Illinois?

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–53–2014] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 84—Houston, 

Texas; Application for Reorganization 

Under Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the Port of Houston Authority, grantee 

of FTZ 84, requesting authority to 

reorganize 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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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 

August 1, 2014. 

FTZ 84 was approved on July 15, 

1983 (Board Order 214, 48 FR 34792, 8/ 

1/83). The zone was expanded on 

December 24, 1991 (Board Order 551, 57 

FR 42, 1/2/92), on December 23, 1993 

(Board Order 670, 59 FR 61, 1/3/94), on 

August 24, 2000 (Board Order 1115, 65 

FR 54197, 9/7/00), on March 21, 2003 

(Board Order 1271, 68 FR 15431, 3/31/ 

03), on May 14, 2003 (Board Order 1277, 

68 FR 27987, 5/22/03), on April 24, 

2009 (Board Order 1611, 74 FR 27777– 

27778, 6/11/09), on August 23, 2013
