Texas.

area of the zone to include Navarro County, Texas, as described in the

designation. The application indicates that the proposed expanded 
service area is adjacent to the Dallas/Fort Worth Customs and Border 
Protection Port of Entry.
    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
