Foreign-Trade Zone 252--Amarillo, Texas; Application for 
Reorganization Under Alternative Site Framework

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the City of Amarillo, Texas, grantee of FTZ 252, requesting 
authority to reorganize the zone 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. The application was 
submitted pursuant to 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 June 22, 2021.
    FTZ 252 was approved by the FTZ Board on August 28, 2001 (Board 
Order 1183, 66 FR 48116-48117, September 18, 2001). The current zone 
includes the following sites: Site 1 (4,000 acres)--Amarillo 
International Airport and adjacent industrial park property, 10801 
Airport Boulevard, Amarillo (Potter County); Site 2 (6 acres)--
Panhandle Container Service Center, 1201 South Johnson Street, 
Amarillo; Site 3 (345 acres)--Hutchinson County Airport and Industrial 
Park, Borger; Site 4 (68 acres)--Ferguson Business Park, 650 Wilson 
Avenue, Dumas (Moore County); Site 5 (95 acres)--Industrial Park East, 
State Highway 60, Pampa (Gray County); Site 6 (213 acres)--PEDCO Park, 
Tying Avenue, Pampa; Site 7 (0.52 acres)--Donley site, \1/2\ block from 
State Highway 87, Tulia (Swisher County); Site 8 (6 acres)--RCD site, 
adjacent to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad in the 1000 block 
of NW 6th

Street, Tulia; Site 9 (10 acres)--Anderson site, State Highway 87, 
Tulia; and, Site 10 (3 acres)--Bivens site, Interstate 27 near the 
intersection of State Highway 86, Tulia.
    The grantee's proposed service area under the ASF would be 
Armstrong, Oldham, Potter and Randall Counties, Texas, as described in 
the application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites 
throughout the service area based on companies' needs for FTZ 
designation. The application indicates that the proposed service area 
is within and adjacent to the Amarillo Customs and Border Protection 
port of entry.
    The applicant is requesting authority to reorganize its existing 
zone to include all of the existing sites as ``magnet'' sites. The ASF 
allows for the possible exemption of one magnet site from the 
``sunset'' time limits that generally apply to sites under the ASF, and 
the applicant proposes that Site 1 be so exempted. No subzones/usage-
driven sites are being requested at this time.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans and 
Christopher Wedderburn of the FTZ Staff are designated examiners 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 and sent to: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is August 30, 2021. 
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to September 13, 2021.
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection 
in the ``Reading Room'' section of the FTZ Board's website, which is 
accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For further information, contact 
Camille Evans at [email protected] or Christopher Wedderburn at 
[email protected].

    Dated: June 24, 2021.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
