    Whereas, the City of Amarillo, Texas (the Grantee), has made

port of entry;

Federal Register (66 FR 8197, 1/30/01); 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, and that approval of the 
application is in the public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 252, at the sites 
described in the application, and subject to the Act and the Board's
