[Docket 44-2000]


Foreign-Trade Zone 46--Cincinnati, OH, Area Application for Zone 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Greater Cincinnati Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., grantee 
of FTZ 46, requesting authority to expand its zone in the Cincinnati, 
Ohio, area, adjacent to the Cincinnati 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 July 27, 2000.
    FTZ 46 was approved in 1979 (Board Order 141, 44 FR 4003, 1-19-79) 
and relocated in 1994 (Board Order 720, 59 FR 66891, 12-28-94). In 1997 
the zone was expanded to include a second, non-contiguous site (Board 
Order 943, 62 FR 67044, 12-23-97), and it was recently expanded with 
the addition of three sites in Clermont County and Brown County, some 
25 miles east of Cincinnati (Board Order 1070, 64 FR 72643, 12-28-99). 
The zone currently consists of five sites in the greater Cincinnati 
area:

    Site 1: (35 acres)--175 Progress Place, Springdale (Hamilton 
County), Ohio;

Ohio; and,
    Site 5: (160 acres)--West Hamco Industrial Park, 4160 Half Acre 
Road, Batavia, Ohio.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand Site 3 by 
adding additional industrial space (406 acres) located at 1981 Front 
Wheel Drive, Afton Industrial Area in Batavia, immediately adjacent to 
the western boundary of the existing site. The proposed expansion area 
(4 parcels) is owned by: A--Flannery Developers (89 acres); B--Central 
Trust (53 acres); C--Ronald E. Clark (33 acres); and D--ZF Batavia (231 
acres).
    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 three copies) shall be addressed to
