[Docket 31-94]

 

Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--St. Clair County, Michigan; (Port 
Huron Customs Port of Entry) Application and Public Hearing

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Port Huron-St. Clair County Industrial Development 
Corporation (IDC), (a Michigan non-profit corporation), requesting 
authority to establish a general-purpose foreign-trade zone in St. 
Clair County, Michigan, within the Port Huron Customs port of entry. 
The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the 
Foreign-Trade Zones Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the 
regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed on 
October 17, 1994. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal 
under Act No. 154 of the Public Acts of 1963 of the State of Michigan.
    The proposed zone would consist of four sites (326 acres) in the 
Cities of Port Huron and Marysville and in Port Huron Township: Site 1 
(Port Huron Seaway Terminal--2 acres), 2336 Military Street, Port 
Huron, owned by the City of Port Huron; Site 2 (Port Huron Industrial 
Park--300 acres), 16th and Dove Streets, Port Huron, owned by the City 
of Port Huron; Site 3 (International Industrial Park, Inc.,--15 acres), 
330 Griswold Rd., Port Huron Township, owned by CIPA-USA; and, Site 4 
(Wilkie Brothers Warehouse--9 acres), 1765 Michigan Avenue, Marysville, 
owned by Wilkie Investment and Blue Water Investment.
    The application contains evidence of the need for zone services in 
the Port Huron area. Several firms have indicated an interest in using 
zone procedures for warehousing/distribution of such items as sugar 
beet pellets, corn gluten pellets, grain screening pellets, cull beans, 
woodpulp, copper and steel. No manufacturing approvals are being sought 
for either site at this time. Such approvals would be requested from 
the Board on a case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations (as revised, 57 FR 
50790-50808, 10-8-91), a member of the FTZ Staff has been designated 
examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
    As part of the investigation, the Commerce examiner will hold a 
public hearing on November 17, 1994, 9:00 a.m., in the Public Meeting 
Room at the Municipal Office Center, 100 McMorran Boulevard, Port 
Huron, Michigan 48060.
    Public comment on the application is invited from interested 
parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 
Board's Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period 
for their receipt is December 27, 1994. Rebuttal comments in response 
to material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted 
during the subsequent 15-day period (to January 9, 1995).
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
available during this time for public inspection at the following 
locations:

Office of the Port Director, U.S. Customs Service, 526 Water Street, 
Room 301, Port Huron, Michigan 48060-5471.
