Foreign-Trade Zone 168--Fort Worth, TX; Application for Expansion
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Dallas/Fort Worth Maquila Trade Development
Corporation, grantee of FTZ 168, requesting authority to expand its
zone in the Fort Worth, Texas, area, within 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 November 21, 1995.
FTZ 168 was approved on November 1, 1990 (Board Order 491, 55 FR
46974, 11/8/90) and reorganized in 1992 and 1994. The zone currently

The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the zone to
include an additional site (91 acres) at the Regency Business Park
(currently under development), located along Post & Paddock Road, Grand
Prairie, Texas. The park is owned by Champion Partners, Ltd., and zone
services will be provided by the FTZ Operating Company of Texas.
No specific manufacturing requests are being made at this time.
Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
