    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of

    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 McAllen Foreign Trade Zone Inc., grantee of Foreign-

Federal Register (84 FR 59352, November 4, 2019) 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 and that the proposal would 
be in the public interest, if subject to the restriction listed below;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application for production authority under zone procedures
