Maryland FTZ Applies for Streamlined Subzone Procedures

Prince George's County, Maryland has submitted an application to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board to reorganize FTZ 63 under the Alternative Site Framework, said the FTZ Board in a Federal Register notice. Under the reorganization, the service area would cover Prince George's County. The Alternative Site Framework streamlines processes for designation of new FTZ subzones and usage driven sites within the service area by allowing companies to request zone status through the relatively simple "minor boundary modification" process. Comments on the application are due by Oct. 3.
