Board (the Board) by the Georgia Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 26, requesting authority to expand its zone in the 
Atlanta, Georgia area, adjacent to the Atlanta Customs port of entry.

FR 15254, 4/28/88). The general-purpose zone was expanded on April 29, 
1996 (Board Order 820, 61 FR 21156, 5/9/96) and currently consists of a
