FTZ Board Update: Training in Chicago
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE THIS UPDATE WITH YOUR OPERATORS, USERS, AND OTHERS WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN THE FTZ PROGRAM.
As mentioned in prior FTZ Board updates, we are planning a series of free events across the country to provide training and enable discussion
about the FTZ Board’s new regulations.
In addition to the recent events in Atlanta and Houston, there will be events in New York City on July 24 and San Diego on
September 13. We also now have information available for the event in Chicago on July 17.
Details of the New York and San Diego events were sent previously and are available in the What’s New box on our website (www.trade.gov/ftz).
The Chicago event will have the following format:
9:00 a.m. to noon – General training open to anyone interested in attending (including grantees) – Will cover a range of provisions of the
new regulations, plus enable Q & A/discussion.
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. – Outreach session for officials of grantee organizations – Will focus on regulatory provisions that have a direct
impact on the grantee role, and enable Q & A/discussion.
There will be no charge for attendees.
