Foreign-Trade Zone 257--Imperial County, California; Application 
for Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the County of Imperial, California, grantee of FTZ 257, 
requesting authority to reorganize the zone 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 Board (15 CFR part 400). It 
was formally docketed on December 3, 2015.
    FTZ 257 was approved by the FTZ Board on October 9, 2003 (Board 
Order 1286, 68 FR 61393, October 28, 2003).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1: (597 
acres)--Gateway of the Americas, State Route 7 and State Highway 98, 
Calexico; Site 2: (32 acres)--Airport Industrial Park, Jones Drive and 
Best Road with adjacent parcel on Duarte Street, Brawley; Site 3: 
(240.36 acres)--Calexico International Airport, 254-256 E. Anza Road 
and Second Street and Airport Road, Calexico; Site 4: (104 acres)--
Calipatria Airport Industrial Park, Main Street, International Road and 
Lyerly Road, Calipatria; Site 5: (531 acres)--El Centro Community 
Redevelopment Agency project area, Danenberg Road, Dogwood Road and I-
8, El Centro; Site 6: (3.46 acres)--Coppel Corporation, 503 Scaroni 
Road, Calexico; Site 7: (43 acres)--Imperial County Airport, State 
Highway 86 and Aten Road; Site 8: (115 acres)--Drewry Warehousing 
complex, 340 West Ralph Road, Imperial; Site 9: (45 acres)--Lucky Ranch 
Industrial Park, Best Road and Shank Road, Brawley; Site 10: (78.11 
acres)--Desert Real Estate parcels, Cole Road and Sunset Boulevard, 
Calexico; Site 11: (35.47 acres)--Portico Industrial Park, Cole Road 
and Enterprise Boulevard, Calexico; Site 12 (59.49 acres)--Kloke Tract, 
Cole Road and Camacho Road, Calexico; Site 13 (57.45 acres)--Las 
Palmas/Estrada Business Park, Estrada Boulevard and Arguelles Street, 
Calexico; Site 14 (7.54 acres)--Calexico Industrial Park, 190 East Cole 
Road and 2360, 2420, 2430, 4360 M.L. King Avenue, Calexico; Site 15 
(1.3 acres)--JE Exports, 701 Cesar Chavez Boulevard, Calexico; and, 
Site 16 (0.96 acres)--JE Exports, 224 Grant Street, Calexico.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be Imperial 
County, California, 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 application indicates that 
the proposed service area is within and adjacent to

the Calexico U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include existing Sites 1 through 5 and 7 through 14 as 
``magnet'' sites and existing Sites 6, 15 and 16 as ``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 Site 1 be so exempted. No new 
subzones/usage-driven sites are being requested at this time.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Christopher Kemp 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 February 8, 
2016. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to February 22, 2016.
    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 
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For
