Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

Proposal for Changes to the Format of 

Annual Reports Submitted to the 

Foreign-Trade Zones Board 

SUMMARY: The Foreign-Trade Zones 

(FTZ) Board is inviting public comment 

on a staff proposal to revise the format 

of annual reports that are submitted by 

zone grantees to the Foreign-Trade 

Zones Board. The revisions are intended 

to clarify the information that is being 

requested and focus on the information 

that is most important for oversight of 

the FTZ program. For comparison, the 

current format for annual reports is 

available on the FTZ Board’s Web site— 

accessible via http://www.trade.gov/ 

ftz—within the ‘‘Already in a Zone?’’ 

section. Relative to the current format, 

a number of multiple-part questions 

have been broken out into separate 

questions for purposes of clarity and 

ease of use. In general, the amount of 

information being requested in the 

proposed format is reduced relative to 

the existing format. 

Part 1: Zone Project Summary 

1. Was foreign-status merchandise 

stored within the zone under zone 

procedures during the fiscal year? 

If the answer is no, complete 

questions 2–3 below: 

2. Describe the promotion and 

marketing efforts that are being 

undertaken to provide local companies 

with information on using the zone? 

3. Has the zone ever been used for the 

admission and storage of zone status 

merchandise? If yes, indicate when. 

If the answer is yes, complete 

questions 4–12 of Part 1 below for all 

warehouse and distribution operations 

within the general-purpose zone and 

any subzones. In addition, for each 

general-purpose zone (GPZ) or subzone 

operation involved in manufacturing/ 

processing, complete a separate Part 2 

(Manufacturing/Processing GPZ and 

Subzone Operations). 

4. Provide a summary of the 

warehouse and distribution activity that 

occurred within the zone project. 

Specifically discuss any developments 

or trends in shipments or activity and 

any value added activity that occurred 

within active zone space. 

5. Discuss how the zone project 

contributes to the local economy and 

local economic development efforts, 

including the FTZ impact on local 

employment, port activity, industrial 

development, international trade and 

investment. If applicable, describe in 

what ways the zone has been used 

locally by the logistics industry and 

other companies to address supply 

chain issues. 

6. The general-purpose zone served 

___ zone users during the fiscal year. 

The number employed by zone users 

within activated general-purpose zone 

areas was ___ persons. Employment 

figures should include both direct and 

contract persons. For part time workers, 

please report a full time equivalent (e.g., 

60 contract employees working for 6 

months would equal a full time 

equivalent of 30 workers). 

7. Activity Summary: 

Provide a list of general-purpose zone 

sites and indicate the number of acres 

that are activated at each site. Also 

indicate if the site is subject to a time 

or sunset limit. 

Provide a list of approved subzones 

and indicate the activation status of 

each subzone. If the subzone is active, 

provide the employment (direct + 

contract) for the subzone. If inactive, 

indicate if the subzone has lapsed. 

8. Movement of Merchandise: 

This section should include the 

movement of merchandise for all 

general-purpose and subzone operations 

that did not require FTZ Board 

manufacturing/processing authority. 

(There is a separate section below where 

manufacturing/processing operations 

that occurred within the generalpurpose zone or any subzone will be 

reported individually.)
