Kansas City FTZ Applies for ASF Reorganization

The Greater Kansas City Foreign Trade Zone has submitted an application to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to reorganize FTZ 15 under the Alternative Site Framework, said FTZB in a Federal Register notice. Under the reorganization, the FTZ service area would cover Andrew, Bates, Buchanan, Caldwell, Carroll, Cass, Chariton, Clay, Clinton, Cooper, Daviess, DeKalb, Henry, Howard, Jackson, Johnson, Lafayette, Livingston, Pettis, Platte, Ray and Saline Counties, Missouri. ASF streamlines processes for designation of new FTZ subzones and usage driven sites within the larger service area. It allows companies to request zone status through the relatively simple "minor boundary modification" process. Comments on the application are due by Jan. 13.
