DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–66–2015]
Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—
Hitchcock, Texas; Under Alternative
Site Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the City of Hitchcock to establish a
foreign-trade zone at a site in Hitchcock,
Texas, adjacent to the Houston Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) port of
entry, under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ
Board (15 CFR Sec. 400.2(c)). The ASF
is an option for grantees for the
establishment or reorganization of zones
and can permit significantly greater
flexibility in the designation of new
‘‘subzones’’ or ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ sites
for operators/users located within a
grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context of
the FTZ Board’s standard 2,000-acre
activation limit for a zone project. 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
docketed on October 6, 2015. The
applicant is authorized to make the
proposal under Texas Statutes, Business
and Commerce Code, Title 15, Chapter
681.
The proposed zone would be the sixth
zone for the Houston CBP port of entry.
The existing zones are as follows: FTZ
36, Galveston (Grantee: Board of
Trustees of the Galveston Wharves,
Board Order 129, May 4, 1978); FTZ 84,
Houston (Grantee: Port of Houston
Authority, Board Order 214, July 15,
1983); FTZ 171, Liberty County
(Grantee: Liberty County Economic
Development Corp., Board Order 501,
January 4, 1991); FTZ 199, Texas City
(Grantee: Texas City Foreign-Trade Zone
Corp., Board Order 681, February 1,
1994); and, FTZ 265, Conroe (Grantee:
City of Conroe, Board Order 1410,
September 16, 2005).
The applicant’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the City of
Hitchcock, Texas. If approved, the
applicant would be able to serve sites
throughout the service area based on
companies’ needs for FTZ designation.
The proposed service area is within and
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
adjacent to the Houston CBP port of
entry.
The proposed zone would include
one ‘‘magnet’’ site: Proposed Site 1
(280.54 acres)—Blimp Base, 7529 Blimp
Base Road, Hitchcock. 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 application states that there is a
need for zone services in the Hitchcock
area and that several firms have
indicated an interest in using zone
procedures. Specific production
approvals are not being sought at this
time. Such requests would be made to
the FTZ Board on a case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the FTZ 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 FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the FTZ Board’s Executive
Secretary at the address below. The
closing period for their receipt is
December 14, 2015. Rebuttal comments
in response to material submitted
during the foregoing period may be
submitted during the subsequent 15-day
period to December 28, 2015.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room
21013, U.S. Department of Commerce,
1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the
‘‘Reading Room’’ section of the FTZ
Board’s Web site, which is accessible
via www.trade.gov/ftz. For further
information, contact Camille Evans at
