    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 
CFR 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 122, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-15-
2013, docketed 02/20/2013) for authority to reorganize under the ASF 
with a service area of Nueces, San Patricio, Aransas, Jim Wells, 
Kleberg and Bee Counties, Texas, within and adjacent to the Corpus 
Christi Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 122's 
existing Site 1 would be categorized as a magnet site, existing Sites 
3, 7 and 8 would be categorized as usage-driven sites, and existing 
Site 4 would be removed from the zone;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (78 FR 13015-13016, 02/26/2013) 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 
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 reorganize FTZ 122 under the ASF is approved, 
subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including Section 
400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the 
zone, and to a three-year ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites 
that would terminate authority for Sites 3, 7 and 8 if no foreign-
status merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by July 
31, 2016.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of July 2013.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate
