Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1937]


Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 84; Houston, Texas

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Port of Houston Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 84, submitted an application to the Board for authority to expand 
FTZ 84 to include two sites in Harris County, Texas, adjacent to the 
Houston Customs and Border Protection port of entry (B-66-2013, 
docketed 6-25-2013);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (78 FR 39254, 7-1-2013) 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 would be satisfied if subject to a sunset 
provision;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 84 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 overall zone, and 
to a sunset provision that would terminate authority on May 31, 2019, 
for Sites 28 and 29 where no activity has occurred under FTZ procedures 
before that date.
