DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 2141]
Reorganization and Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 39 Under
Alternative Site Framework; Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas
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 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 adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (15
CFR sec. 400.2(c)) as an option for the establishment or reorganization
of zones;
Whereas, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, grantee
of Foreign-Trade Zone 39, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ
Docket B-51-2022, docketed November 15, 2022) for authority to expand
the service area of the zone to include Hill County, Texas, as
described in the application, adjacent to the Dallas/Fort Worth Customs
and Border Protection port of entry, and to include a usage-driven site
(Site 34) in Hill County;
Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal
Register (87 FR 70779, November 21, 2022) 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 report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and
the Board's regulations are satisfied;
Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
The application to reorganize and expand FTZ 39 under the ASF is
approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, including
Section 400.13, to the Board's standard 2,000-acre activation limit for
the zone, and to an ASF sunset provision for usage-driven sites that
would terminate authority for Site 34 if no foreign-status merchandise
is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose within three years from the
month of approval.
Dated: March 28, 2023.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, Alternate Chairman,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
