Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 22-2002]


Foreign-Trade Zone 39--Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; Expansion of 
Subzone 39E, Fossil Partners, L.P. (Watches and Consumer Goods)

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, 
grantee of FTZ 39, requesting on behalf of the watch and accessories 
warehousing/distribution facility of Fossil Partners, L.P. (Fossil) to 
expand Subzone 39E, located in Richardson, Texas. The applicant 
requests the addition of a new site in Dallas, Texas. The application 
was submitted pursuant to the Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It 
was formally filed on May 1, 2002.
    Subzone 39E was approved on December 3, 1997 (Board Order No. 937, 
12/10/97). Authority was granted for the warehousing/distribution of 
watches and accessories at the Fossil facility. The original authority 
covered a facility located at 2280 N. Greenville Avenue (300,000 sq. 
ft., 20.41 acres) in Richardson, Texas. On January 28, 2002, authority 
was granted for a minor boundary modification (A(27f)-7-02), which 
allowed the company to temporarily relocate its subzone designation 
(300,000 sq. ft.) to a facility located at 10615 Sanden Drive (517,000 
sq. ft., 47.5 acres), in Dallas, Texas.
    Fossil requests an expansion of subzone status that would cover its 
entire Dallas (Sanden Drive) site (517,000 sq. ft.; 47.5 acres). The 
company also requests a reinstatement of the 300,000 sq. ft. at the 
Richardson, Texas facility, that was deleted in the January 2002 action 
that is described above. The nature of the original warehousing/
distribution operation at the subzone remains unchanged in terms of 
products and activities. The level of activity would increase 
commensurate with the increase in the size of the facility (300,000 sq. 
ft. to 517,000 sq. ft.).
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
    Public comment on the application is invited from interested 
parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 
Board's Executive Secretary at one of the addresses:
    1. Submissions via Express/Package Delivery Services: Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, Franklin Court Building--
Suite 4100W, 1099 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20005; or,
    2. Submissions via the U.S. Postal Service: Foreign-Trade Zones 
Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB--Suite 4100W, 1401 Constitution 
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.
    The closing period for their receipt is July 9, 2002. Rebuttal 
comments in response to material submitted during the foregoing period 
may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period (to July 24, 
2002).
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
available for public inspection at the Office of the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board at the first address listed above and the U.S. Department 
of Commerce, Export Assistance Center, 711 Houston Street, Fort Worth, 
Texas 76102.

    Dated: May 1, 2002.
Dennis Puccinelli,
Executive Secretary.
