Foreign-Trade Zone 96--Eagle Pass, Texas; Application for
Reorganization and Expansion Under Alternative Site Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the City of Eagle Pass, grantee of FTZ 96, requesting
authority to reorganize and expand the zone under the alternative site
framework (ASF) adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 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. The application was
submitted pursuant to 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 16, 2024.
FTZ 96 was approved by the FTZ Board on November 22, 1983 (Board
[[Page 3910]]
Order 237, 48 FR 53738, November 29, 1983).
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:

foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period

website, which is accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. For further
