BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–56–2018] 

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—Lufkin, 

Texas, Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the City of Lufkin to establish a foreigntrade zone in Lufkin, Texas, within the 

Port Arthur-Beaumont CBP port of 

entry, 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 project. The 

application was submitted pursuant to 

the provisions of 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 September 5, 2018. The 

applicant is authorized to make the 

proposal under Texas Statutes, Business 

and Commerce Code, Title 15, Chapter 

681. 

The proposed zone would be the 

fourth zone for the Port ArthurBeaumont CBP port of entry. The 

existing zones—FTZ 115, Beaumont; 

FTZ 116, Port Arthur; and, FTZ 117, 

Orange—were approved on March 20, 

1985 (Board Oder 296). The ForeignTrade Zone of Southeast Texas, Inc., is 

the grantee of FTZs 115, 116 and 117. 

The applicant’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be the City of 

Lufkin and a portion of its Extra 

Territorial Jurisdiction, as described in 

the application. If approved, the 

applicant would be able to serve sites 

throughout the service area based on 

companies’ needs for FTZ designation. 

The applicant has indicated that the 

proposed service area is within the Port 

Arthur-Beaumont Customs and Border 

Protection port of entry. 

The application indicates a need for 

zone services in the City of Lufkin area. 

Several firms have indicated an interest 

in using zone procedures. Specific

production approvals are not being 

sought at this time. Such requests would 

be made to the FTZ Board on a case-bycase basis. 

In accordance with the FTZ Board’s 

regulations, Camille Evans of the FTZ 

Staff is designated examiner 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 at the address below. The 

closing period for their receipt is 

November 13, 2018. Rebuttal comments 

in response to material submitted 

during the foregoing period may be 

submitted during the subsequent 15-day 

period to November 26, 2018. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 

21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 

1401 Constitution Avenue NW, 

Washington, DC 20230–0002, and in the

Board’s website, which is accessible via

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under the authority of the Strategic 

and Critical Materials Stock Piling 

Revision Act of 1979, as amended (the 

Stock Piling Act) (50 U.S.C. 98 et seq.), 

the Department of Defense’s Defense 

Logistics Agency (DLA), as National 

Defense Stockpile Manager, maintains a 

stockpile of strategic and critical 

materials to supply the military, 

industrial, and essential civilian needs 

of the United States for national 

defense. Section 9(b)(2)(G)(ii) of the 

Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C. 

98h(b)(2)(H)(ii)) authorizes the National 

Defense Stockpile Manager to fund 

material research and development 

projects to develop new materials for 

the stockpile. 

Section 3314 of the Fiscal Year (FY) 

1993 National Defense Authorization 

Act (NDAA) (50 U.S.C. 98h–1) formally 

established a Market Impact Committee 

(the Committee) to ‘‘advise the National 

Defense Stockpile Manager on the 

projected domestic and foreign 

economic effects of all acquisitions and 

disposals of materials from the 

stockpile. . . .’’ The Committee must 

also balance market impact concerns 

with the statutory requirement to 

protect the U.S. Government against 

avoidable loss. 

The Committee is comprised of 

representatives from the Departments of 

Commerce, State, Agriculture, Defense, 

Energy, Interior, the Treasury, and 

Homeland Security, and is co-chaired 

by the Departments of Commerce and 

State. The FY 1993 NDAA directs the 

Committee to consult with industry 

representatives that produce, process, or 

consume the materials stored in or of 

interest to the National Defense 

Stockpile Manager. 

As the National Defense Stockpile 

Manager, the DLA must produce an 

Annual Materials Plan proposing the 

maximum quantity of each listed 

material that may be acquired, disposed 

of, upgraded, converted, recovered, or 

sold by the DLA in a particular fiscal 

year. In Attachment 1, the DLA lists the 

quantities and types of activity 

(potential disposals, potential 

acquisitions, potential conversions 

(upgrade, rotation, reprocessing, etc.) or 

potential recovery from government 

sources) associated with each material 

in its proposed FY 2020 Annual 

Materials Plan (‘‘AMP’’). The quantities 

listed in Attachment 1 are not 

acquisition, disposal, upgrade, 

conversion, recovery, reprocessing, or 

sales target quantities, but rather a 

statement of the proposed maximum 

quantity of each listed material that may 

be acquired, disposed of, upgraded, 

converted, recovered, or sold in a 

particular fiscal year by the DLA, as 

noted. The quantity of each material 

that will actually be acquired or offered 

for sale will depend on the market for 

the material at the time of the 

acquisition or offering, as well as on the 

quantity of each material approved for 

acquisition, disposal, conversion 

(upgrade, rotation, reprocessing, etc.), or 

recovery by Congress. 

The Committee is seeking public 

comments on the potential market 

impact associated with the proposed FY 

2020 AMP as enumerated in Attachment 

1. Public comments are an important 

element of the Committee’s market 

impact review process. 

Submission of Comments 

The Committee requests that 

interested parties provide written 

comments, supporting data and 

documentation, and any other relevant 

information on the potential market 

impact of the quantities associated with 

the proposed FY 2020 AMP. All 

comments must be submitted to the 

addresses indicated in this notice. All 

comments submitted through email 

must include the phrase ‘‘Market Impact
