Foreign-Trade Zone 39--Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Application for
Reorganization (Expansion of Service Area) Under Alternative Site
Framework
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board by the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 39, requesting authority to reorganize the zone to
expand its service area under the alternative site framework (ASF)
adopted by the FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.2(c)). The ASF is an option for
grantees for the establishment or reorganization of zones and can
permit significantly greater flexibility in the designation of new
subzones or ``usage-driven'' FTZ sites for operators/users located
within a grantee's ``service area'' in the context of the FTZ Board's
standard 2,000-acre activation limit for a zone. The application was
submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19
U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR part
400). It was formally docketed on September 13, 2013.
FTZ 39 was approved by the FTZ Board on August 17, 1978 (Board
Order 133, 43 FR 37478, 8/23/78) and reorganized under the ASF on
January 15, 2010 (Board Order 1660, 75 FR 4355, 1/27/10). The zone
project currently has a service area that includes Dallas, Tarrant,
Kaufman, Collin, Grayson and Denton Counties, Texas.
The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service
area of the zone to include Hunt County, as described in the
application. If approved, the grantee would be able to serve sites
throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ
designation. The proposed expanded service area is adjacent to the
Dallas/Fort Worth Customs and Border Protection port of entry.
In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans of
the FTZ Staff is designated examiner to evaluate and analyze the facts
and information presented in the application and case record and to
report findings and recommendations to the FTZ Board.
Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions
shall be addressed to the FTZ Board's Executive Secretary at the
address below. The closing period for their receipt is November 18,
2013. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period
to December 3, 2013.
A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
at the Office of the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board,
Room 21013, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20230-0002, and in the ``Reading Room'' section of the
FTZ Board's Web site, which is accessible via www.trade.gov/ftz. For
further information, contact Camille Evans at [email protected]
or (202) 482-2350.
Dated: September 13, 2013.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
