ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)

Discussion and Possible action regarding approval a resolution adopting the updated Texas City Foreign Trade Zone 199, Operating Policies, Rules, Regulations and Fee Schedule.

BACKGROUND

In 2019, Staff presented the FTZ Board with a proposed set of Operating Policies, Rules, Regulations, and a new fee schedule for consideration. In a review of previous minutes and actions by the Board, the updated policy was not officially adopted.

Texas City FTZ 199 has been operating underneath the new guidelines and schedule however, it has not been updated on the official Foreign Trade Zone website (OFIS). The action by the Board to approve the Operating Policies, Rules, Regulations and Fee Schedule would allow staff to submit the proper information to update the official website.

Staff recommends approval of the Resolution to approve the Operating Policies, Rules, Regulations and Fee Schedule for FTZ 199.
