Memorandum.

Production Facilities 

EVPL stated that it operates all of the 

same production facilities that Elque & 

Co. used to produce shrimp.16

According to EVPL, the company’s 

factories are in the same locations they 

were under Elque & Co. before the 

company restructured.17

Supplier Relationships 

EVPL stated that there were no 

material changes in the raw material 

suppliers of Elque & Co. as a result of 

the restructuring. EVPL provided a list 

of Elque & Co.’s raw material suppliers 

during the three months prior to the 

takeover, as compared to EVPL’s 

suppliers for the three months after the 

takeover.18 This information 

demonstrates that EVPL continued to 

use certain of the same suppliers as 

Elque & Co.19

Customer Base 

EVPL stated that there were no 

material changes in the customer base of 

Elque & Co. as a result of the 

restructuring. EVPL provided a list of 

Elque & Co.’s shrimp customers during 

the three months prior to the takeover, 

as compared to EVPL’s customers 

during the three months after the 

takeover.20 This information 

demonstrates that EVPL continued to 

sell to certain of the same customers as 

Elque & Co.21

Thus, record evidence, as submitted 

by EVPL, indicates that EVPL operates 

as essentially the same business entity 

as Elque & Co. with respect to the 

subject merchandise.22 Moreover, 

Commerce previously determined that it 

was appropriate to treat Calcutta 

Seafoods Pvt. Ltd. (Calcutta Seafoods), 

Bay Seafood Pvt. Ltd. (Bay Seafood), 

and Elque & Co. as a single entity (the 

Elque Group).23 Because EVPL 

demonstrated that there were no 

material changes in the ownership and 

management structure, production 

facilities, and supplier and customer 

base of Calcutta Seafoods and Bay 

Seafood (the other companies in the 

Elque Group), we preliminarily find that 

the Elque Group now consists of EVPL, 

Calcutta Seafoods, and Bay Seafood.

of the Elque Group (i.e., 3.88 percent).29

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

[B–4–2024] 

Foreign-Trade Zone 96—Eagle Pass, 

Texas; Application for Reorganization 

and Expansion Under Alternative Site 

Framework 

An application has been submitted to 

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board by 

the City of Eagle Pass, grantee of FTZ 

96, requesting authority to reorganize 

and expand the zone under the 

alternative site framework (ASF) 

adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 

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 ‘‘usagedriven’’ 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 

January 16, 2024. 

FTZ 96 was approved by the FTZ 

Board on November 22, 1983 (Board 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
3910 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 14 / Monday, January 22, 2024 / Notices 

Order 237, 48 FR 53738, November 29, 

1983). 

The current zone includes the 

following sites: Site 1 (188 acres)—Eagle 

Pass Industrial Park, Industrial 

Boulevard and Brown Street, Eagle Pass; 

Site 2 (17 acres)—City’s Mini Industrial 

Park, Industrial Boulevard and Adams 

Street, Eagle Pass; Site 3 (1,100 acres)— 

Maverick County Airport, U.S, Highway 

277, Eagle Pass; and, Site 4 (55 acres)— 

located on State Highway 1588 near 

Highway 277, Eagle Pass. 

The grantee’s proposed service area 

under the ASF would be Maverick 

County, 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 Eagle Pass Customs and Border 

Protection port of entry. 

The applicant is requesting authority 

to reorganize and expand its existing 

zone as follows: (1) remove existing 

Sites 1, 2 and 4 from the zone; (2) 

modify Site 3 by removing and adding 

acreage (new site total—562.71 acres); 

and, (3) modified Site 3 would become 

a ‘‘magnet’’ site. 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 

modified Site 3 be so exempted. 

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 and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The 

closing period for their receipt is March 

22, 2024. Rebuttal comments in 

response to material submitted during 

the foregoing period may be submitted 

during the subsequent 15-day period to 

April 8, 2024. 

A copy of the application will be 

available for public inspection in the 

‘‘Online FTZ Information Section’’ 

section of the FTZ Board’s website, 

which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ 

ftz. For further information, contact 

Camille Evans at Camille.Evans@
