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 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 West Cameron Port Commission (the Grantee), a Louisiana political subdivision, has made application to the Board (B-23-2014, docketed 03/12/2014) requesting the  establishment of a foreign-trade zone under the ASF with a service area that includes Wards 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, adjacent to the Lake Charles Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and proposed Site 1 would be categorized as a usage-driven site;

WHEREAS, notice inviting public comment has been given in the *Federal Register* (79 FR 14666, 03/17/2014) and the application has been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
