Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2088]


Grant of Authority; Establishment of a Foreign-Trade Zone Under 
the Alternative Site Framework; Lufkin, 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 Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Act provides for `` . . . 
the establishment . . . of foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the 
United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, and for 
other purposes,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to grant 
to qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ports of 
entry;
    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15 
CFR Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of zones;
    Whereas, the City of Lufkin (the Grantee) has made application to 
the Board (B-56-2018, docketed September 5, 2018) requesting the 
establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area 
of the City of Lufkin and a portion of its Extra Territorial 
Jurisdiction, adjacent to the Port Arthur-Beaumont port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (83 FR 45879-45880, September 11, 2018) 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 grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 297, as described in the 
application, and subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including Section 400.13, and to the Board's standard 2,000-acre 
activation limit.

    Dated: December 17, 2019.
Wilbur L. Ross, Jr.,
Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board.
