DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[Docket 27–2012] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 149—Freeport, TX, 

Application for Reorganization Under 

Alternative Site Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 

(the Board) by Port Freeport, grantee of 

FTZ 149, requesting authority to 

reorganize the zone under the 

alternative site framework (ASF) 

adopted by the Board (74 FR 1170–1173, 

01/12/09 (correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/ 

09); 75 FR 71069–71070, 11/22/10). The 

ASF is an option for grantees for the 

establishment or reorganization of 

general-purpose zones and can permit 

significantly greater flexibility in the 

designation of new ‘‘usage-driven’’ FTZ 

sites for operators/users located within 

a grantee’s ‘‘service area’’ in the context 

of the Board’s standard 2,000-acre 

activation limit for a general-purpose 

zone project. 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 filed 

on April 2, 2012. 

FTZ 149 was approved by the Board 

on June 28, 1988 (Board Order 385, 53 

FR 26096, 7/11/88), and expanded on 

August 7, 2001 (Board Order 1185, 66 

FR 42994, 8/16/01), and on February 23, 

2010 (Board Order 1666, 75 FR 12726, 

3/17/10). 

The current zone project includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (280 acres)—Port 

Freeport Primary Facility, 1001 

Navigation Boulevard, Freeport; Site 2 

(153.6 acres)—Freeport LNG Terminal, 

1500 Lamar Street, Quintana; Site 3 

(1,063.1 acres)—Port Freeport (Parcels 

13, 14 & 19), State Highway 288, 

Freeport; Site 4 (242.2 acres)—Port 

Freeport (Parcels 27, 35, 39 & TEPPCO), 

located on Farm Market Road 1495, 

Freeport; Site 5 (212.9 acres)—Port 

Freeport (Parcel 30), located on County 

Road 723, Quintana; Site 6 (146 acres)— 

Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport, 

located on County Road 220, Angleton; 

Site 7 (506 acres)—Pearland Northern 

Industrial Park, located on State 

Highway 35, Pearland; Site 8 (832 

acres)—Pearland Southern Industrial 

Park, located on State Highway 35, 

Pearland; Site 9 (146 acres)—Pearland 

Bybee-Sterling Complex, located at the 

intersection of Hooper Road and Sam 

Houston Parkway, Pearland; Site 10 (8 

acres)—Alvin Santa Fe Industrial Park, 

200 Avenue I, Alvin; Site 11 (340 acres, 

sunset 2/28/2017)—International 

Industrial Park, located on State 

Highway 59 between Beasley and 

Kendleton; and, Site 12 (636 acres, 

sunset 2/28/2017)—KCS/CenterPoint 

Intermodal Center, located on State 

Highway 59 between Beasley and 

Kendleton. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be the Counties of 

Brazoria and Fort Bend, Texas. If 

approved, the grantee would be able to 

serve sites throughout the service area 

based on companies’ needs for FTZ 

designation. The proposed service area 

is within and adjacent to the Freeport 

Customs and Border Protection port of 

entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize its zone project to include 

existing Sites 1, 3 and 10 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. The applicant is also 

requesting that Sites 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 

11 and 12 be removed from the zone 

project. No new magnet or usage-driven 

sites are being requested at this time. 

Because the ASF only pertains to 

establishing or reorganizing a generalpurpose zone, the application would 

have no impact on FTZ 149’s authorized 

subzones. 

In accordance with the 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 Board. 

Public comment is invited from 

interested parties. Submissions (original 

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 

Board’s Executive Secretary at the 

address below. The closing period for 

their receipt is June 8, 2012. Rebuttal 

comments in response to material 

submitted during the foregoing period 

may be submitted during the subsequent 

15-day period to June 25, 2012. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection at the 

Office of the Executive Secretary, 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111, 

U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 

Constitution Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20230–0002, and in the ‘‘Reading 

Room’’ section of the Board’s Web site,
