Foreign-Trade Subzone 183A--Dell Computer Corporation Application 
for Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Foreign Trade Zone of Central Texas, Inc., grantee 
of FTZ 183, requesting authority to expand Subzone 183A at the computer 
manufacturing facilities of Dell Computer Corporation (Dell) located in 
Austin, Texas. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions 
of 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 filed on 
June 19, 1996.
    Subzone 183A was approved on November 16, 1992 (Board Order 607, 57 
FR 56902; 12/1/92). The subzone currently consists of the following 
three sites: Site 1: (32 acres) located in the Braker Center Industrial 
Park, at the intersection of Braker Lane and Metric Boulevard; Site 2: 
McKalla 2 (124,000 sq. ft.) located at 2500 McHale Court within the 
Rutland Center Industrial Park; and, Site 3: Research 1 (100,685 sq. 
ft.) located at 8701 Research Boulevard, Austin, Texas. Sites 2 and 3 
are temporary sites, which expire on December 31, 1996.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the subzone as 
follows:

--Expand Site 1 to include three buildings (Braker C, D & F, 9 acres, 
143,280 sq. ft.)
--Add Site 2 to the subzone plan on a permanent basis
--Expand Site 2 by adding a building (McKalla I, 135,000 sq. ft.) 
located at 10220 McKalla Drive; and,
--Add Site 3 to the subzone plan on a permanent basis.

    Dell is authorized to manufacture computers and related products 
under zone procedures within Subzone 183A. This proposal does not 
involve any new manufacturing authority under zone procedures.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations (as revised, 56 FR 
50790-50808, 10-8-91), a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated 
examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
    Public comment (original and 3 copies) is invited from interested 
parties (see FTZ Board address below). The closing date for their 
receipt is August 30, 1996. Rebuttal comments in response to material 
submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during the
