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 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 TexAmericas Center, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 258, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-42-2015, docketed June 22, 2015) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area that includes a portion of Bowie County, Texas, adjacent to the Shreveport-Bossier City Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 258's existing Sites 1 and 2 would be categorized as magnet sites;

*Whereas,* notice inviting public comment was given in the *Federal Register* (80 FR 36967-36968, June 29, 2015) and the 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 application to reorganize FTZ 258 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 2 if not activated within five years from the month of approval.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 20th day of November, 2015.
