Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 32-99]


Foreign-Trade Zone 183--Austin, Texas; 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 21, 1999.
    Subzone 183A was approved on November 16, 1992 (Board Order 607, 57 
FR 56902, 12/1/92) and expanded on December 23, 1996 (Board Order 861, 
62 FR 1316, 1/9/97) and on July 25, 1997 (Board Order 912, 62 FR 42486, 
8/7/97). The subzone currently consists of the following five sites in 
Austin: Site 1 (55 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 McKalla I (135,000 sq. ft.) located at 10220 
McKalla Drive; Site 3 (11 acres) Research 1 (100,685 sq. ft.) located 
at 8701 Research Boulevard; Site 4 (33 acres, 546,750 sq. ft.) located 
in Metric Center at 2207 and 2209 Rutland Drive, 9709 Burnet Road and 
2106 W. Rundberg; and, Site 5 (4 acres, 61,676 sq. ft.) located in 
Longhorn Business Park at 2545 Brockton Drive.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the subzone to 
include an additional site: Proposed Site 6 (11 acres, 96,000 sq. ft.) 
located in the Walnut Creek Corporate Center at 8619 Wall Street and 
8701 Wall Street in Austin.
    Dell is authorized to manufacture computers and related products 
under zone procedures within Subzone 183A. This proposal does not 
request any new manufacturing authority under FTZ procedures in terms 
of products or components, but the change is designed to help Dell 
accommodate increased production activity at its Austin facilities.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their receipt is 
August 30, 1999. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted 
during the foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-
day period (to September 13, 1999).
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
available for public inspection at each of the following locations:

Floor, Austin, Texas 78701.
