New York City Foreign Trade Zones Request Merger, Reorganization
The City of New York has requested to merge Foreign Trade Zones 1 and 111, and reorganize the combined FTZ under the Alternative Site Framework, according to a FTZ Board notice to be published in the Oct. 25 Federal Register. FTZ 1 currently includes sites at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Howland Hook Marine Terminal, and in Rockaway and Manhattan. FTZ 111 consists of the cargo center at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

The merged zone would be numbered FTZ 1, and would include in its service area New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Richmond Counties, New York. ASF reorganization of the site would streamline processes for designation of new FTZ subzones and usage driven sites within its larger service area. Comments are due by Dec. 24.
