Foreign-Trade Zone 94—Laredo, TX;
Application for Reorganization Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by the City of Laredo,
grantee of FTZ 94, requesting authority
to reorganize the zone under the
alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170–1173,
01/12/09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/
09); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/22/10). The
ASF is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of
general-purpose zones and can permit
significantly greater flexibility in the
designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ
sites for operators/users located within
a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context
of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a general-purpose
zone project. 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 filed
on March 23, 2012.
FTZ 94 was approved by the Board on
November 22, 1983 (Board Order 235,
48 FR 53737, 11/29/83), and expanded
on March 26, 1990 (Board Order 468, 55
FR 12696, 4/5/90), on December 29,
1992 (Board Order 620, 58 FR 3533, 1/
11/93), on January 17, 1997 (Board
Order 866, 62 FR 4028, 1/28/97), on
November 28, 2000 (Board Order 1130,
65 FR 77851, 12/13/00), and on April 5,
2006 (Board Order 1443, 71 FR 19693,
4/17/06).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (491.738 acres)—
within the 1,600-acre Laredo
International Airport Complex, 5210
Bob Bullock Loop, Laredo; Site 2 (20
acres)—within the Texas Mexican
Railway Industrial Park, Highway 359,
Webb County; Site 3 (550 acres)—within
the 1,400-acre Killam Tract, 12800 Old
Miners Road, Laredo; Site 4 (1,500
acres)—within the 7,000-acre
International Commerce Center, located
adjacent to the Laredo Solitary Bridge
crossing into Mexico; Site 5 (930
acres)—La Barranca Ranch, Interstate
Highway 35, Laredo; Site 6 (682 acres)—
Unitec Industrial Center, Interstate
Highway 35, Laredo; Site 7 (831 acres)—
within the 1,530-acre Embarcadero
Business Park, located at the northwest
corner of Mines Road (FM 1472) and
Loop 20, Laredo; Site 8 (2.15 acres,
expires 8/31/12)—Uni-Trade
Forwarding L.C., 130 Flecha Lane,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:14 Mar 28, 2012
Jkt 226001
Laredo; Site 9 (1.158 acres, expires 12/
31/12)—Kuehne + Nagel, Inc., within
the El Portal Industrial Park, 12018
Auburn Road, Laredo; Site 10 (1 acre,
expires 2/28/14)—PG Distribution LLC,
within the El Portal Industrial Park,
8421 Amparan Road, Laredo; and, Site
11 (3.463 acres, expires 9/30/14)—Sony
Electronics, Inc., within the San Isidro
East Point Center, 11302 East Point
Drive, Building B, Laredo.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be Webb County,
Texas. If approved, the grantee would be
able to serve sites throughout the service
area based on companies’ needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed service area
is within and adjacent to the Laredo
Customs and Border Protection port of
entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its existing zone project
under the ASF as follows: Sites 1
through 7 would become ‘‘magnet’’
sites; and, Sites 8 through 11 would
become ‘‘usage-driven’’ sites. The
applicant proposes that Site 1 be exempt
from ‘‘sunset’’ time limits that otherwise
apply to sites under the ASF. No new
magnet or usage-driven sites are being
requested at this time.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Camille Evans 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 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 May 29, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to June 12, 2012.
