The current zone includes the following sites: Site 1 (188 acres)—Eagle Pass Industrial Park, Industrial Boulevard and Brown Street, Eagle Pass; Site 2 (17 acres)—City’s Mini Industrial Park, Industrial Boulevard and Adams Street, Eagle Pass; Site 3 (1,100 acres)— Maverick County Airport, U.S, Highway 277, Eagle Pass; and, Site 4 (55 acres)— located on State Highway 1588 near Highway 277, Eagle Pass. The grantee’s proposed service area under the ASF would be Maverick County, Texas, as described in the application. If approved, the grantee 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 Eagle Pass Customs and Border Protection port of entry. The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize and expand its existing zone as follows: (1) remove existing Sites 1, 2 and 4 from the zone; (2) modify Site 3 by removing and adding acreage (new site total—562.71 acres); and, (3) modified Site 3 would become a ‘‘magnet’’ site. 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 modified Site 3 be so exempted. 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 and sent to: ftz@trade.gov.
