Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—
Socorro, Texas Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by
the City of Socorro to establish a
foreign-trade zone in Socorro, Texas,
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
January 9, 2023. The applicant is
authorized to make the proposal under
Texas Business and Commerce Code,
Title 15, Chapter 681, Foreign-Trade
Zones.
The proposed zone would be the first
zone for the Tornillo Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) port of entry.
The applicant’s proposed service area
under the ASF would be the City of
Socorro. If approved, the applicant
would be able to serve sites throughout
the service area based on companies’
needs for FTZ designation. The
application indicates that the proposed
service area is within and adjacent to
the Tornillo CBP port of entry.
The application indicates a need for
zone services in Socorro, Texas. Several
firms have indicated an interest in using
zone procedures for warehousing/
distribution activities for a variety of
products. Specific production approvals

requests would be made to the FTZ
Board on a case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the FTZ Board’s
regulations, Camille Evans and
Christopher Wedderburn of the FTZ
Staff are designated examiners 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 and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is March
20, 2023. Rebuttal comments in
response to material submitted during
the foregoing period may be submitted
during the subsequent 15-day period to
April 3, 2023.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection in the
‘‘Online FTZ Information Section’’
section of the FTZ Board’s website,
which is accessible via www.trade.gov/
