Foreign-Trade Zone 39--Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, Application for 
Reorganization and Expansion 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 and to include a new usage-driven site 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 November 15, 
2022.
    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 
expanded the ASF service area on May 16, 2014 (Board Order 1939, 79 FR 
30079, May 27, 2014). The zone currently has a service area that 
includes Dallas, Tarrant, Kaufman, Collin, Grayson, Denton and Hunt 
Counties, Texas.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the service 
area of the zone to include Hill County, 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.
    The applicant is also requesting to expand its zone to include an 
additional usage-driven site: Proposed Site 34 (127 acres)--Frontier 
Support Logistics facilities located at 201, 350, 401 and 788 
Industrial Loop Boulevard in Hillsboro, Hill County.
    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: 
[email protected]. The closing period for their receipt is January 20, 
2023. Rebuttal comments in response to material submitted during the 
foregoing period may be submitted during the subsequent 15-day period 
to February 6, 2023.
    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 www.trade.gov/ftz. For further 
information, contact Camille Evans at [email protected].

    Dated: November 15, 2022.
Andrew McGilvray,
Executive Secretary.
