Stockton (Pecos County), Texas, some 90 miles south of Midland 
International Airport (a U.S. Customs user-fee airport). The 
application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 filed on May 29, 1996.
    FTZ 165 was approved on June 29, 1990 (Board Order 477, 55 FR

purpose zone to include a site at the Pecos County Industrial Park (300 
acres) located northwest of U.S. Highway 205, within the Fort Stockton/
Pecos County Airport facility. The site is owned and operated by the
