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

[[Page 55780]]

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 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of 
zones;
    Whereas, the Tyler Economic Development Council (the Grantee), a 
non-profit corporation, has made application to the Board (B-69-2021, 
docketed October 28, 2021) requesting the establishment of a foreign-
trade zone under the ASF with a service area that encompasses a portion 
of Smith County, Texas, adjacent to the Shreveport-Bossier City Customs 
and Border Protection port of entry;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (86 FR 60791-60792, November 4, 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 grants to the Grantee the 
privilege of establishing a foreign-trade zone, designated on the 
records of the Board as Foreign-Trade Zone No. 299, 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: September 1, 2022.

Secretary of Commerce, Chairman and Executive Officer, Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board.
