Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

Whereas, the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act provides for ``. . . the
establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the

other purposes,'' and authorizes the Board to grant to qualified
corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade zones in or

zones;
Whereas, the Port of Houston Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade

docketed June 26, 2024) for authority to increase the activation limit
of the zone under the ASF to 3,000 acres;
Whereas, 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
examiner's 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 increase the activation limit of the zone under
