Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Hitchcock, Texas; Amendment of 
Application

    A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board 
(the Board) by the Port of Houston Authority (PHA), grantee of FTZ 84, 
at the request of the City of Hitchcock, to amend the City's pending 
application requesting authority to establish a new foreign-trade zone 
in Hitchcock, Texas. The pending application was docketed on October 6, 
2015 (FTZ Board Docket B-66-2015, 80 FR 61358, October 13, 2015).
    PHA is requesting authority to include the site originally proposed 
for FTZ designation as part of a new zone in Hitchcock, Texas as an 
additional magnet site of FTZ 84, adjacent to the Houston Customs and 
Border Protection port of entry. The proposed site is as follows: 
Proposed Site 1 (280.54 acres)--Blimp Base, 7529 Blimp Base Road, 
Hitchcock. If approved, the proposed site would be assigned a new site 
number under FTZ 84. The amended application is limited to FTZ 
designation for the proposed Blimp Base site (i.e., it does not request 
authority for the ASF service area originally proposed in the 
application).
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
shall be addressed to the Board's Executive Secretary at: Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Room 21013, 1401 Constitution 
Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20230.
    The closing period for their receipt is December 13, 2017. Rebuttal 
comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period 
may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to December 28, 
2017).
    For further information, contact Camille Evans at 
[email protected] or (202) 482-2350.

    Dated: November 6, 2017.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
