[Docket 62-2003]


Foreign-Trade Zone 170--Clark County, IN; Application for 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Indiana Port Commission, grantee of Foreign-Trade 
Zone 170, requesting authority to expand its zone in the Clark County, 
Indiana, area, within the Louisville 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 November 10, 
2003.
    FTZ 170 was approved on December 27, 1990 (Board Order 495, 56 FR 
673, 1/8/91), and expanded on July 23, 1997 (Board Order 907, 62 FR 
40796, 7/30/97). The zone currently consists of three sites in Clark 
County: Site 1 (35 acres)--within the 993-acre Clark Maritime Center 
Complex on Utica Pike at Port Road, Jeffersonville; Site 2 (22 acres)--
at the Clark County Airport between State Route 31 and the airport 
terminal, Sellersburg; and, Site 3 (2,000 acres)-- within the 10,000-
acre former Indiana Army Ammunition Plant, 11452 State Road 62, 
Charlestown.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand Site 1 to 
include an additional 958 acres. The change would cover the entire 993-
acre Clark Maritime Center. The port is an active facility with 
companies involved in warehousing and distribution of steel, plastics, 
chemicals, metals, as well as general merchandise. The majority of the 
site is owned by the Indiana Port Commission. 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 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 
Board's Executive Secretary at one of the following addresses:

Board, U.S. Department of Commerce, FCB--Suite 4100W, 1401 Constitution
