Approval of Subzone Expansion; Lam Research Corporation; Fremont, 
Livermore and Tracy, California

    On January 3, 2018, the Executive Secretary of the Foreign-Trade 
Zones (FTZ) Board docketed an application submitted by the City of San 
Jose, grantee of FTZ 18, requesting an expansion of Subzone 18F, 
subject to the existing activation limit of FTZ 18, on behalf of Lam 
Research Corporation, in Fremont, Livermore and Tracy, California.
    The application was processed in accordance with the FTZ Act and 
Regulations, including notice in the Federal Register inviting public 
comment (83 FR 2424, January 17, 2018). The FTZ staff examiner reviewed 
the application and determined that it meets the criteria for approval. 
Pursuant to the authority delegated to the FTZ Board Executive 
Secretary (15 CFR Sec. 400.36(f)), the application to expand Subzone 
18F was approved on March 12, 2018, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Section 400.13, and further subject to 
FTZ 18's 2,000-acre activation limit.
