DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 2121]
Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 252 Under Alternative Site
Framework, Amarillo, Texas
Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:
Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act provides for ``. . . the
establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Board to grant to qualified
corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade zones in or
adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of entry;
Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization
of zones;
Whereas, the City of Amarillo, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 252,
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-47-2021, docketed
June 22, 2021) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service
area of Armstrong, Oldham, Potter and Randall Counties, Texas, in and
adjacent to the Amarillo U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of
entry, and FTZ 252's existing Sites 1 through 10 would be categorized
as magnet sites;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (86 FR 34200-34201, June 29, 2021) and the application has
been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations;
and,
Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the
examiners' report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
The application to reorganize FTZ 252 under the ASF is approved,
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the
zone, and to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would
terminate authority for Sites 2 through 10 if not activated within five
years from the month of approval.
Dated: December 13, 2021.
Ryan Majerus,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones
Board.
