    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Sanford Airport Authority, to establish a 
general-purpose foreign-trade zone at sites in the Seminole County, 
Florida area, within the Sanford Customs port of entry. The application 
was submitted pursuant to the provisions of the FTZ Act, as amended (19 
U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It 
was formally filed on September 5, 2000. The applicant is authorized to 
make the proposal under Section 288.36., Florida Statutes Annotated 
(1997).
    The proposed zone would consist of sites covering 2,436 acres in 
the Seminole County area: Site 1 (1,800 acres)--Orlando Sanford 
Airport/Airport Commerce Park, One Red Cleveland Boulevard at the east 
end of Lake Mary Boulevard, Sanford; Site 2 (53 acres)--Technology 
Park, Lake Emma Drive and San Pond Road, Lake Mary; Site 3 (126

interest in using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution of such 
items as architectural hardware, computer software, electronics, 
interior fire suppression sprinkler systems and specialized glass 
products. Specific manufacturing approvals are not being sought at this 
time. 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.
