TEXT: An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, grantee of Foreign-
Trade Zone 122, requesting authority to expand its zone in Nueces County,
Texas, within the Corpus Christi Customs port of entry. The application
was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 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 November 14, 1990.
On September 5, 1985, the Port received authority from the Board to
establish a foreign-trade zone (5 sites -- 393 acres) in Nueces County,
Texas (Board 310, 50 FR 38020, 9/19/85). The main site (50 acres) is at the
Port of Corpus Christi complex in Nueces County, adjacent to the City of
Corpus Christi.
The grantee requests authority to expand the main site to include
