Foreign-Trade Zone 38--Spartanburg County, South Carolina 
Application for Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 38, requesting authority to expand its zone in 
Spartanburg County, South Carolina, within the Greenville/Spartanburg, 
South Carolina 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 August 21, 1996.
    FTZ 38 was approved on May 4, 1978 (Board Order 131, 43 FR 20526, 
5/12/78) and expanded on November 9, 1994 (Board Order 715, 59 FR 
59992, 11/21/94). The zone project currently consists of three sites in 
Spartanburg County: Site 1 (20 acres)--U.S. Highway 29 Industrial Park, 
Wellford; Site 2 (111 acres)--International Transport Center, Greer; 
and Site 3 (111 acres)--Highway 290 Commerce Park, Duncan.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to further expand the 
general-purpose zone to include a site (Proposed Site 4) which would 
encompass the Wingo Corporate Park (473 acres), a private industrial 
park located some 5 miles northwest of Spartanburg, South Carolina, on 
New Cut, Blackstock, and Mt Zion Roads in Spartanburg County. 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 October 28, 1996. Rebuttal comments in response to 
material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during 
the subsequent 15-day period (to November 12, 1996).
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
