Foreign-Trade Zone 149—Freeport, TX,
Application for Reorganization Under
Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board
(the Board) by Port Freeport, grantee of
FTZ 149, 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 April 2, 2012.
FTZ 149 was approved by the Board
on June 28, 1988 (Board Order 385, 53
FR 26096, 7/11/88), and expanded on
August 7, 2001 (Board Order 1185, 66
FR 42994, 8/16/01), and on February 23,
2010 (Board Order 1666, 75 FR 12726,
3/17/10).
The current zone project includes the
following sites: Site 1 (280 acres)—Port
Freeport Primary Facility, 1001
Navigation Boulevard, Freeport; Site 2
(153.6 acres)—Freeport LNG Terminal,
1500 Lamar Street, Quintana; Site 3
(1,063.1 acres)—Port Freeport (Parcels
13, 14 & 19), State Highway 288,
Freeport; Site 4 (242.2 acres)—Port
Freeport (Parcels 27, 35, 39 & TEPPCO),
located on Farm Market Road 1495,
Freeport; Site 5 (212.9 acres)—Port
Freeport (Parcel 30), located on County
Road 723, Quintana; Site 6 (146 acres)—
Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport,
located on County Road 220, Angleton;
Site 7 (506 acres)—Pearland Northern
Industrial Park, located on State
Highway 35, Pearland; Site 8 (832
acres)—Pearland Southern Industrial
Park, located on State Highway 35,
PO 00000
Frm 00015
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
21081
Pearland; Site 9 (146 acres)—Pearland
Bybee-Sterling Complex, located at the
intersection of Hooper Road and Sam
Houston Parkway, Pearland; Site 10 (8
acres)—Alvin Santa Fe Industrial Park,
200 Avenue I, Alvin; Site 11 (340 acres,
sunset 2/28/2017)—International
Industrial Park, located on State
Highway 59 between Beasley and
Kendleton; and, Site 12 (636 acres,
sunset 2/28/2017)—KCS/CenterPoint
Intermodal Center, located on State
Highway 59 between Beasley and
Kendleton.
The grantee’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the Counties of
Brazoria and Fort Bend, 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 Freeport
Customs and Border Protection port of
entry.
The applicant is requesting authority
to reorganize its zone project to include
existing Sites 1, 3 and 10 as ‘‘magnet’’
sites. The ASF allows for the possible
exemption of one magnet site from the
‘‘sunset’’ time limits that generally
apply to sites under the ASF, and the
applicant proposes that Site 1 be so
exempted. The applicant is also
requesting that Sites 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
11 and 12 be removed from the zone
project. No new magnet or usage-driven
sites are being requested at this time.
Because the ASF only pertains to
establishing or reorganizing a generalpurpose zone, the application would
have no impact on FTZ 149’s authorized
subzones.
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 June 8, 2012. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to June 25, 2012.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW., Washington,
DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading
Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site,
which is accessible via www.trade.gov/
ftz. For further information, contact
