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 Act (FTZ) 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 Sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization of zones;                

*Whereas,*                     the McAllen Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 12, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-76-2016, docketed November 10, 2016; amended June 26, 2017) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area of Hidalgo County, Texas, in and adjacent to the Hidalgo/Pharr Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 12's existing Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites;                

*Whereas,*                     notice inviting public comment was given in the                     **Federal Register**                     (81 FR 81056-81057, November 17, 2016) and the amended 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 examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations are satisfied;                

*Now, therefore,*                     the Board hereby orders:                

The amended application to reorganize FTZ 12 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 Site 1 if not activated within five years from the month of approval.
