Whereas, the Sierra Vista Economic Development Foundation, Inc., grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 139, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ Docket B-43-2012, docketed 06/05/2012) for authority to reorganize under the ASF with a service area which includes a portion of Cochise County, Arizona, as described in the amended application, in and adjacent to the Naco, Arizona U.S Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 139's existing Site 1 would be categorized as a magnet site;

Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal Register (77 FR 34935-34936, 06/12/2012) and the application has been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
