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

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.
