Foreign-Trade Zone 82--Mobile, Alabama; Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the City of Mobile, grantee of FTZ 82, requesting authority to 
reorganize and expand 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 ``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 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 May 1, 2015.
    FTZ 82 was approved by the FTZ Board on February 24, 1982 (Board 
Order 208, 48 FR 9052, 3/3/1983) and expanded on February 27, 1990 
(Board Order 464, 55 FR 8159, 3/7/1990) and on December 19, 2003 (Board 
Order 1312, 69 FR 48, 1/2/2004).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (1,863 
acres)--Downtown Mobile Airport, Port and Riverfront Industrial 
Complex, Mobile; Site 2 (3,169 acres)--LeMoyne Industrial Park, located 
on U.S. Highway 43, LeMoyne; Site 3 (70 acres)--Mobile River Industrial 
Park, located on U.S. Highway 43, Saraland; Site 4 (34 acres)--Frisco 
Industrial Park, located on Craft Highway, Mobile and Prichard; Site 7 
(3,364 acres)--Theodore Industrial Complex, located on the western 
shore of Mobile Bay, Theodore; Site 9 (221 acres)--Loxley Industrial 
Park, located near County Highway 49, Loxley; Site 13 (31 acres, 
expires 4/30/2016)--warehouse complex, 1200 Papermill Road, Mobile; 
Site 14 (6 acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade 
Services, 6955 Cary Hamilton Road, Theodore; Site 15 (15 acres, expires 
4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade Services, 200 Callahan Drive, 
1501 Telegraph Road and 1816/1818 Craft Highway, Prichard; Site 16 (3 
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro International Trade Services, 1510 
Telegraph Road, Mobile; Site 17 (6 acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Metro 
International Trade Services, 1204 Telegraph Road, Mobile; Site 18 (10 
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--John Fayard Moving & Warehousing, L.L.C., 
warehouse complex, 6030 Rangeline Road, Theodore; and, Site 19 (4 
acres, expires 4/30/2016)--Technip UK, Ltd., 3405/3425 Hurricane Bay 
Drive, Theodore. (Note: Sites 5, 6, 8, 10, 11 and 12 have sunsetted 
pursuant to Board Order 1312.)
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be the 
Counties of Mobile, Baldwin, Butler, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, 
Escambia, Monroe, Washington and Wilcox, as described in the 
application. 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 
Mobile Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its 
existing zone as follows: Restore 80 acres at Site 1 (new acreage--
1,943 acres); Sites 1 (as modified), 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 13 and 18 would 
become ``magnet'' sites; and, Sites 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 would become 
``usage-driven'' 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 modified Site 1 be 
so exempted. The application would have no impact on FTZ 82's 
previously authorized subzones.
