for FTZ 209 to the Port of Palm Beach District, redesignating FTZ 209

at Beeline Highway and Route 786; and, Site 7 (155,000 sq. ft.)--

    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include an additional site (170 acres) in Palm Beach 
County: Proposed Site 8 (170 acres)--within the 1,247-acre Palm Beach 
Park of Commerce, on Beeline Highway (SR 710) near Pratt Whitney Road, 
Palm Beach. The site is owned by Palm Beach Property Investments, Ltd. 
and Williamsburg Partners, Inc. The project will be developed and 
operated by The Rockefeller Group, based on an agreement with Palm 
Beach Property Investments, Ltd. No specific manufacturing authority is 
being requested at this time. Such requests would be made to the Board 
on a case-by-case basis.
