                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 (FTZ) 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's regulations (15 CFR part 400) provide for the
                establishment of subzones for specific uses;
                 Whereas, the Port of South Louisiana, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone
                124, has made application to the Board for an expansion of Subzone 124A
                on behalf of Valero Refining-New Orleans L.L.C. to include a site

                5, 2023);
                 Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the
                Federal Register (88 FR 70640, October 12, 2023) 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
                examiners' memorandum, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act
                and the Board's regulations are satisfied;
                 Now, therefore, the Board hereby approves the expansion of Subzone
