Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 62 Under Alternative Site Framework Brownsville, Texas

Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of zones;

Whereas, the Brownsville Navigation District, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 62, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-103-2013, docketed 12-04-2013) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of Cameron County, Texas, within and adjacent to the Brownsville Customs and Border Protection port of entry, to renumber a 71-acre portion of Site 1 as Site 5, and to categorize FTZ 62's existing Sites 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 as magnet sites;

Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (78 FR 73823, 12-09-2013) and the application has been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,

Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations are satisfied;

Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:

[top] The application to reorganize FTZ 62 under the ASF is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations,

including Section 400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the zone, and to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would terminate authority for Sites 2, 3, 4 and 5 if not activated by August 31, 2019.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 29th day of August 2014.

Paul Piquado,

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
