FTZ 39 Service Area Expands to 3 Counties
The Dallas/Fort Worth Foreign-Trade Zone 39 applicant asks to expand its service area to include Parker, Palo Pinto, and Jack Counties, Texas. If approved, businesses located in those counties could be served by FTZ 39 and seek FTZ designation to access the zone's trade-related benefits.
More Flexibility for New FTZ Sites Under ASF
The application seeks reorganization under the Foreign-Trade Zones Board's Alternative Site Framework (ASF), which permits greater flexibility to designate new subzones or 'usage-driven' FTZ sites within a grantee's service area, in the context of the FTZ Board's 2,000-acre activation limit. That flexibility would let the grantee serve sites throughout the expanded service area based on companies' needs for FTZ designation.
