Foreign-Trade Zone 181--Akron-Canton, Ohio Area; Application for 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Akron-Canton Regional Airport Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 181, requesting authority to expand its zone in the 
Akron-Canton, Ohio area, adjacent to the Cleveland/Akron Customs port 
of entry. The application was submitted pursuant to

[[Page 37443]]

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 July 8, 1996.
    FTZ 181 was approved on December 23, 1991 (Board Order 546, 57 FR 
41, 1/2/92). The general-purpose zone currently consists of 110 acres 
within the 2,121-acre Akron-Canton Regional Airport in North Canton, 
Ohio.
    The applicant, in a major revision to its zone plan, now requests 
authority to expand the general-purpose zone to include three new sites 
in Trumbull, Columbiana and Stark Counties (proposed Sites 2 through 
4): Proposed Site 2 (1,236 acres)--Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, 
1453 Youngstown-Kingsville Road, Trumbull County, Ohio; Proposed Site 3 
(124 acres, 2 parcels)--Columbiana County Port Authority port terminal 
facility (19 acres) on the Ohio River, 1250 St. George Street, East 
Liverpool, and, the port authority's Leetonia Industrial Park (105 
acres), State Route 344, Leetonia, Ohio; and Proposed Site 4 (843 
acres)--Stark County Intermodal Facility, approximately one mile south 
of the City of Massillon, adjacent to State Route 21 in the 
southwestern corner of Stark County. This project is related to a 
northeast Ohio regional economic development project coordinated by the 
Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium. 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 [60 days from date of publication]. Rebuttal
