Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 2121]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 252 Under Alternative Site 
Framework, Amarillo, 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 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 Amarillo, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 252, 
submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-47-2021, docketed 
June 22, 2021) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service 
area of Armstrong, Oldham, Potter and Randall Counties, Texas, in and 
adjacent to the Amarillo U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of 
entry, and FTZ 252's existing Sites 1 through 10 would be categorized 
as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (86 FR 34200-34201, June 29, 2021) 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 
examiners' report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 252 under the ASF 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 
zone, and to an ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 2 through 10 if not activated within five 
years from the month of approval.

    Dated: December 13, 2021.
Ryan Majerus,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones 
Board.
