[Docket 2-2002]


Foreign-Trade Zone 143--Sacramento, California, Area Application 
for Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board), by the Sacramento-Yolo Port District, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 143, requesting authority to expand its zone to 
include an additional site in the Sacramento, California, area, 
adjacent to the San Francisco 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 January 7, 2002.
    FTZ 143 was approved on August 6, 1987 (Board Order 360, 52 FR 
30698, 8/17/87) and expanded on December 15, 1997 (Board Order 944, 62 
FR 67043, 12/23/97) and January 18, 2000 (Board Order 1074, 65 FR 5495, 
2/4/00). The general-purpose zone project currently consists of the 
following sites: Site 1 (686 acres)--within the Port of Sacramento, 
Industrial Blvd. and Boatman Ave., W. Sacramento; Site 2 (1,280 
acres)--Lincoln Airport Business Park, Aviation Blvd, Lincoln, some 25 
miles northeast of Sacramento; and, Site 3 (1,574 acres)--Chico 
Municipal Airport complex and adjacent industrial development area, 
Chico.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include an additional site (Proposed Site 4) in 
Sacramento County. Proposed Site 4 (976 acres)--McClellan Park (the 
former site of the McClellan Air Force Base), 3140 Peacekeeper Way, 
McClellan, California. The site is located in an unincorporated area of 
the County of Sacramento. The County of Sacramento selected McClellan 
Business Park, LLC to redevelop and manage the former 2,856-acre 
McClellan Air Force Base. The area to be included in the proposed zone 
is currently owned by the U.S. Air Force, but ownership is in the 
process of being conveyed to the County of Sacramento and McClellan 
Business Park LLC. (The property is currently leased to the County of 
Sacramento and McClellan Business Park, LLC as part of the conveyance 
process.) A variety of businesses are already established on the site 
performing activities including services, manufacturing and processing, 
and warehousing and distribution. No specific manufacturing requests 
are being made at this time. Such requests would be made to the Board 
on a case-by-case basis. The site contains certain historic properties 
which will be managed in accordance with the agreement between the 
United States Air Force and the California State Historic Preservation 
Officer.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to
