    On February 28, 2012, the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board published a notice in the Federal Register that revised its regulations issued pursuant to the FTZ Act of 1934, as amended, concerning the authorization and regulation of foreign-trade zones and zone activity in the United States.[1] Section 400.21 of the revised regulations established general requirements for applications to the FTZ Board. Paragraph (i) of section 400.21 provides that, “{u}nless the Executive Secretary alters the requirements of this paragraph, the applicant shall submit an original (including original documents to meet the requirements of paragraphs (c) and (d)(1)(iii) of this section) and one copy of the application, both on 81/2 × 11 (216 × 279 mm) paper, and an electronic copy.” Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.21(i), to reduce the burden on applicants and to facilitate a full transition to an electronic application process, applications to the FTZ Board henceforth should be submitted solely in electronic form via email to ftz@trade.gov.
