    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 Foreign-Trade Zones 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's regulations (15 CFR part 400) provide for the 
establishment of subzones for specific uses;
    Whereas, the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, grantee of Foreign-

Subzone 122X on behalf of Cheniere Energy, Inc., located in Portland, 
Texas (FTZ Docket B-15-2023, docketed March 1, 2023);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (88 FR 14117, March 7, 2023) 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' memorandum, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act 
and the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby approves the expansion of Subzone 
122X on behalf of Cheniere Energy, Inc., located in Portland, Texas, as 
described in the application and Federal Register notice, subject to
