    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority (Port

the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was formally filed on March 12, 1996.
    FTZ 40 was approved on September 29, 1978 (Board Order 135, 43 FR

27579; 6/25/82) and April 1992 (Board Order 574, 57 FR 13694; 4/17/92).

at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland; and, Site 2: (175

acres)--Cleveland Hopkins International Airport complex; Proposed Site 
4 (450 acres)--Burke Lakefront Airport, located at 1501 North Marginal 
Road. Both airports are owned and operated by the City of Cleveland.
    No specific manufacturing requests are being made at this time.
