The petitions were submitted

pursuant to Section 251 of the Trade Act

of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2341). Consequently,

the United States Department of

Commerce has initiated separate

investigations to determine whether

increased imports into the United States

of articles like or directly competitive

with those produced by each firm

contributed importantly to total or

partial separation of the firm’s workers,

or threat thereof, and to a decrease in

sales or production of each petitioning

firm.

Any party having a substantial

interest in the proceedings may request

a public hearing on the matter. A

request for a hearing must be received

by Trade Adjustment Assistance, Room

Whereas, by an Act of Congress

Whereas, an application from the City

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 30–98]

Foreign-Trade Zone 183—Austin,

Texas, Application for Expansion and

Request for Manufacturing Authority

(Servers and Work Stations)

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 expand its

zone in the Austin, Texas area, and

requesting on behalf of Dell Computer

Corporation, authority to manufacture

servers and workstations under zone

procedures within FTZ 183 (Austin

Customs port of entry). The application

was submitted pursuant to the

provisions of 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 June

11, 1998.

FTZ 183 was approved on December

23, 1991 (Board Order 550, 57 FR 42, 1/

2/92). The zone currently consists of

seven sites in the Austin, Texas area:

Site 1—Austin Enterprise site (317

acres), consisting of seven parcels

within the Austin Enterprise Zone Area

along Highway 290 and the Ben White

Boulevard-Montopolis Drive area,

Austin;

Site 2—Balcones Research site (50

acres), located in north central Austin at

the intersection of Burnett Road and

Longhorn Boulevard;

Site 3—High Tech Corridor site (762

acres), consisting of ten parcels located

along I–35, 14 miles north of downtown

Austin (site straddles Austin-Round

Rock city line);

Site 4—Cedar Park site (122 acres),

some eight miles northwest of the

Austin city limits, in Williamson

County;

Site 5—Round Rock ‘‘SSC’’ site (246

acres), consisting of two parcels located

along I–35 between Chandler Road and

Westinghouse Road on the northern

edge of the City of Round Rock;

Site 6—Georgetown site (246 acres),

located along I–35 and U.S. 81, south of

downtown Georgetown;

Site 7—San Marcos site (40 acres),

located within the San Marcos

Municipal Airport facility in eastern

San Marcos, adjacent to State Highway

21, on the Hays County/Caldwell

County line.

(An expansion request (Doc. 63–97) is

currently pending with the FTZ Board

to expand FTZ 183 to include the MET

Center industrial park (200 acres)

located between U.S. Highway 183

South and State Highway 71 East in

southeast Austin.)

The applicant is now requesting

authority to expand Site 3 to include

574 acres approximately two miles

south of the High-Tech Corridor site,

just east of I–35 on Parmer Lane in the

City of Austin (Travis County) near the

Williamson County border. This

proposed expansion will expand the site

to 1,336 acres.

The application also requests

authority on behalf of Dell Computer

Corporation to manufacture servers and

workstations within FTZ 183 (within

the proposed expansion area). Dell is

already authorized to manufacture

computers and related products,

including servers and workstations,

under zone procedures within Subzone

183A. Dell is building a 300,000 square

foot facility (the ‘‘Enterprise Systems

Facility’’) within the proposed Site 3

expansion area, and plans to transfer a

portion of its manufacturing operations

to the new facilities to meet

requirements for additional capacity

required by its growing server and

workstation businesses. This proposal

does not request any new manufacturing

authority under FTZ procedures in

terms of products or components, but it

does involve a proposed increase in

Dell’s level of production under FTZ

procedures within the FTZ 183 project

overall corresponding to the proposed

increase in facilities.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations, a member of the FTZ Staff

has been designated examiner to

investigate the application and report to

the Board.

Public comment on the application 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 August 24, 1998. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to September 8, 1998).
