[Order No. 2037]


Approval of Expansion of Subzone 87F; Westlake Chemical 
Corporation; Sulphur, Louisiana

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 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 Lake Charles Harbor & Terminal District, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 87, has made application to the Board to expand 
Subzone 87F on behalf of Westlake Chemical Corporation to include two 
additional sites located in Westlake, Louisiana (FTZ Docket B-17-2017, 
docketed March 24, 2017);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment has been given in the 
Federal Register (82 FR 15687-15688, March 30, 2017) 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 
examiner's 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 
87F on behalf of Westlake Chemical Corporation as described in the 
application and Federal Register notice, subject to the FTZ Act and the 
Board's regulations, including Section 400.13.

    Dated: August 11, 2017.
