Foreign-Trade Zone 105, Providence/North Kingston, Rhode Island; 
Application for Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the State of Rhode Island Department of Economic 
Development, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 105, Providence and North 
Kingston, Rhode Island, requesting authority to expand its zone to 
include a site in the City of Warwick, Rhode Island, within the 
Providence 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 November 2, 1995.
    FTZ 105 was approved on September 13, 1984 (Board Order 270, 49 FR 
37133, 9/21/84). The zone project includes 2 sites in the Providence

Providence, a 185-acre commercial and industrial intermodal facility 
owned by the City of Providence; and Site 2 (900 acres)--within the
