Brownsville FTZ Applies for ASF Reorganization

The Brownsville Navigation District has submitted an application to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to reorganize FTZ 62 under the Alternative Site Framework, said FTZB in a Federal Register notice. Under the reorganization, the FTZ service area would cover Cameron County, Texas. 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 Feb. 7.
