Foreign-Trade Zone 182--Fort Wayne, Indiana, Application for 
Reorganization, (Expansion of Service Area), Under Alternative Site 
Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the City of Fort Wayne, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 182, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone to expand its service 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 the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the 
FTZ Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally docketed on August 25, 
2015.
    FTZ 182 was approved by the Board on December 23, 1991 (Board Order 
549, 57 FR 1450, 1/14/1992), reorganized under the ASF on June 22, 2011 
(Board Order 1770, 78 FR 39070, 7/5/2011) and its ASF service area was 
expanded on January 2, 2014 (Board Order 1927, 79 FR 2410, 1/14/2014). 
The zone currently has a service area that includes Adams, Allen, 
Blackford, DeKalb, Huntington, Jay, LaGrange, Noble, Steuben, Wabash, 
Wells and Whitley Counties.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Randolph County, Indiana, 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 Indianapolis and Dayton Customs and 
Border Protection Ports of Entry.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman 
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.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is November 2, 
2015. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to November 16, 2015.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
