Foreign-Trade Zone 39--Dallas/Fort Worth, TX Application for
Expansion
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 authority to expand its zone in the
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, area, adjacent to the Dallas/Fort Worth
Customs port of entry. The application was submitted pursuant to the
provisions of 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 January 4, 1994.
FTZ 39 was approved on August 17, 1978 (Board Order 133, 43 FR
37478, 8/23/78) and expanded on December 11, 1992 (Board Order 613, 57
FR 61046, 12/23/92). It currently consists of 2,400 acres within the
18,000-acre Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport complex.
The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include a site (552 acres) at the Grayson County
Airport, located in Grayson County, seven miles southwest of Denison,
Texas, and some 60 miles northeast of the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The
proposed zone site consists of 3 parcels (431 acres) within the 1,100-
acre airport complex and a parcel (121 acres) adjacent to the airport
on Highway 1417, owned by Reedrill, Inc. The site would be operated by
the DFW Airport Board in conjunction with the Grayson County Airport
Board.
No specific manufacturing requests are being made at this time.
Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ
