[B-23-2014]


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Cameron Parish, Louisiana Under 
Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the West Cameron Port Commission to establish a foreign-trade 
zone within Cameron Parish, Louisiana, adjacent to the Lake Charles CBP 
port of entry, under the alternative site framework (ASF) adopted by 
the FTZ Board (15 CFR Sec. 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 project. 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 docketed on March 12, 
2014. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Louisiana 
Revised Statues, Title 51, Sections 61-62.
    The proposed zone would be the second zone for the Lake Charles 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) port of entry. The existing zone is 
FTZ 87, Lake Charles (Grantee: Lake Charles Harbor & Terminal District, 
Board Order 217, July 22, 1983).
    The applicant's proposed service area under the ASF would be Wards 
3, 4, 5 and 6 of Cameron Parish. If approved, the applicant would be 
able to serve sites throughout the service area based on companies' 
needs for FTZ designation. The proposed service area is adjacent to the 
Lake Charles CBP port of entry.
    The proposed zone would include one initial ``usage-driven'' site: 
Proposed Site 1 (1,049 acres)--at the Cheniere Sabine Pass LNG 
Terminal, 9243 Gulf Beach Highway, Cameron.
    The application indicates a need for zone services in Cameron 
Parish, Louisiana. Several firms have indicated an interest in using 
zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for a variety 
of products. Specific production approvals are not being sought at this 
time. Such requests would be made to the FTZ Board on a case-by-case 
basis.
    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 at the 
address below. The closing period for their receipt is May 16, 2014. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to June 2, 2014.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, 
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the 
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For 
further information, contact Camille Evans at [email protected] 
or (202) 482-2350.

    Dated: March 12, 2014.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
