Foreign-Trade Zone 70--Detroit, Michigan; Application for 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Greater Detroit Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 70, requesting authority to expand its zone in 
Detroit, Michigan, within the Detroit 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 February 5, 1996.
    FTZ 70 was approved on July 21, 1981 (Board Order 176, 46 FR 38941) 
and expanded on November 27, 1989 (Board Order 453, 54 FR 50258) and 
April 20, 1990 (Board Order 471, 55 FR 17775). An application is 
currently pending with the Board for an additional site at the Detroit 
Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (Docket 20-95).
    The applicant is now requesting authority to further expand the 
general-purpose zone to include a site (37 acres) located in Detroit 
adjacent to I-75/I-96 and the Ambassador Bridge which spans the Detroit 
River, linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario (Canada). The Detroit 
International Bridge Company, which owns the Ambassador Bridge, leases 
the proposed zone site and will serve as zone operator for the site.
    No specific manufacturing requests are being made at this time. 
Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
    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 April 22, 1996. Rebuttal comments in response to 
material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during 
the subsequent 15-day period (to May 6, 1996).
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
