An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the City of Midland, Texas, grantee of FTZ 165,
requesting authority to expand its zone to include a site in Fort
Stockton (Pecos County), Texas, some 90 miles south of Midland
International Airport (a U.S. Customs user-fee airport). 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 May 29, 1996.
FTZ 165 was approved on June 29, 1990 (Board Order 477, 55 FR

airport.

purpose zone to include a site at the Pecos County Industrial Park (300
acres) located northwest of U.S. Highway 205, within the Fort Stockton/
Pecos County Airport facility. The site is owned and operated by the
County of Pecos, which will serve as FTZ administrator.
