Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Culpeper County Chamber of Commerce, Inc., grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 185, requesting authority to expand its zone in 
Culpeper County, Virginia, within the Front Royal 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 
April 26, 1996.
    FTZ 185 was approved on May 22, 1992 (Board Order 578, 57 FR 23385,

Trade Center (80 acres), located on Route 29 at Route 666 in Culpeper 
County.

Industrial Airpark (104 acres) located adjacent to the Culpeper County 
Airport, Route 29 North within the City of Elkwood, Virginia, eight 
miles north of the town limits of the Town of Culpeper. The Airpark is 
owned and operated by the County as an economic development project, 
with certain parcels having been sold to individual companies.
    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
