[Order No. 1660]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 39 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

    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 Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) in 
December 2008 (74 FR 1170, 01/12/09; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/09) 
as an option for the establishment or reorganization of general-purpose 
zones;
    Whereas, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport Board, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 39, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 29-2009, filed 7/17/2009) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area of Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Collin, Grayson, 
and Denton Counties, Texas, in and adjacent to the Dallas/Fort Worth 
Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 39's existing 
Sites 1 through 12 would be categorized as magnet sites;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (74 FR 36165-36166, 7/22/09) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendation of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 39 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, and 
to a five-year ASF sunset provision for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 if not activated by 
January 31, 2015 and for Sites 2, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 12 if not activated 
by March 31, 2015.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 15th day of January 2010.
