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 April 7, 2026.
FTZ 39 was approved by the FTZ Board on August 17, 1978 (Board
Order 133, 43 FR 37478, August 23, 1978), reorganized under the ASF on
January 15, 2010 (Board Order 1660, 75 FR 4355, January 27, 2010), and
its service area was expanded on May 16, 2014 (Board Order 1939, 79 FR
30079, May 27, 2014) and on March 28, 2023 (Board Order 2141, 88 FR
19246, March 31, 2023). The zone currently has a service area that
includes Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Collin, Grayson, Denton, Hunt and
Hill Counties, Texas.
The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service
area of the zone to include Parker, Palo Pinto and Jack Counties, 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 application indicates that 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 and sent to:
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#f593818fb58187949190db929a83"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="086e7c72487c7a696c6d266f677e">[email protected]</span></a>. The closing period for their receipt is June 8, 2026.
Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the
foregoing period may be submitted through June 23, 2026.
A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
in the ``Online FTZ Information Section'' section of the FTZ Board's
website, which is accessible via <a href="http://www.trade.gov/ftz">www.trade.gov/ftz</a>. For further
