Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 8–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 183—Austin, TX; 

Application for Reorganization Under 

the Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by the Foreign Trade Zone 

of Central Texas, Inc., grantee of FTZ 

183, requesting authority to reorganize 

the zone under the alternative site 

framework (ASF) adopted by the Board 

(74 FR 1170–1173, 01/12/09 (correction 

74 FR 3987, 01/22/09); 75 FR 71069– 

71070, 11/22/10). The ASF is an option 

for grantees for the establishment or 

reorganization of general-purpose zones 

and can permit significantly greater 

flexibility in the designation of new 

‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites for operators/ 

users located within a grantee’s ‘‘service 

area’’ in the context of the Board’s 

standard 2,000-acre activation limit for 

a general-purpose zone project. 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 filed on February 

9, 2012. 

FTZ 183 was approved by the Board 

on December 23, 1991 (Board Order 550,

March 16, 1998 (Board Order 964, 63 FR 

13837, 3/23/98), on July 10, 1998 (Board

April 7, 1999 (Board Order 1035, 64 FR 

19978, 4/23/99), on March 15, 2001 

(Board Order 1143, 66 FR 16650, 3/27/ 

01), and on January 27, 2005 (Board 

Order 1366, 70 FR 6616–6617, 2/8/05). 

The current zone project includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (33 acres)— 

Interchange within the Austin 

Enterprise Zone, located at Bolm Road 

and Gardner Road, Austin; Site 2 (50 

acres)—Balcones Research site located 

in north central Austin at the 

intersection of Burnett Road and 

Longhorn Boulevard; Site 3 (449.9

Way/IH 35, Round Rock; Site 4 (47

South and State Highway 71 East in 

southeast Austin, some 5 miles 

northwest of the Austin Bergstrom 

International Airport; Site 9 (56.4 

acres)—Data Products/Nature 

Conservancy, Montopolis Drive/East 

Riverside Drive, Austin; Site 10 (22.6 

acres)—Ben White Business Park, South 

Industrial Drive/Business Center Drive, 

Austin; Site 11 (64.5 acres)—Walnut 

Business Park, US 290/US 183, Austin; 

Site 12 (100 acres)—Harris Branch, 

Harris Branch Parkway/Parmer Lane, 

Austin; Site 13 (15 acres)—Hill Partners 

within the Global Business Park, 

Rutherford Lane/Cameron Road, Austin; 

Site 14 (91 acres)—Corridor Park I 

(Wayne Dresser), Jarrett Way, Round 

Rock; Site 15 (108.5 acres)—Vista

and, Site 24 (30 acres)—Coop Smith & 

Park Central, County Road 116/111, 

Round Rock. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Bastrop, 

Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson 

Counties, Texas. 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 Austin Customs and 

Border Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its existing zone project to 

include all of the existing sites as 

‘‘magnet’’ sites. No usage-driven sites 

are being requested at this time. Because 

the ASF only pertains to establishing or 

reorganizing a general-purpose zone, the 

application would have no impact on 

FTZ 183’s authorized subzones. 

In accordance with the 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 Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is April 16, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to April 30, 2012.
