Foreign-Trade Zone 157--Casper, Wyoming; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Casper/Natrona County International Airport, grantee of 
FTZ 157, requesting authority to reorganize 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 January 17, 2017.
    FTZ 157 was approved by the FTZ Board on January 19, 1989 (Board 
Order 426, 54 FR 5532, February 3, 1989) and expanded on September 3, 
2010 (Board Order 1707, 75 FR 56987-56988, September 17, 2010).
    The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (492 acres)--
Casper/Natrona County International Airport, 8500 Airport Parkway, 
Casper; and, Site 2 (984 acres)--Casper Logistics Hub, 6 Mile Road and 
Morgan Street, Casper.

[[Page 8507]]

    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be a 
portion of Natrona County, Wyoming, 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 Casper, Wyoming U.S. Customs and Border Protection port 
of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include both of the existing sites as ``magnet'' 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 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 March 27, 2017. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to April 11, 2017.
    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
