Anyone know what this is? I see it at costco but don't know what to do with it. Is it part of the loin?

This is part of the new naming conventions for pork parts. They, whoever "they" are, decided to use a nomenclature that is more consistent with that of beef. See the loin section part of this chart:

Here is a Rosetta Stone (but only the "best parts" of the loin; it doesn't go back as far as the "sirloin"):

Oh... here is article that defines "they" and the new scheme:
