[Docket 21-2004]


Foreign-Trade Zone 70--Detroit, MI; Application for Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Greater Detroit Foreign-Trade Zone, grantee of FTZ 
70, requesting authority to expand its zone in the Detroit, Michigan, 
area. 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 
May 25, 2004.
    FTZ 70 was approved on July 21, 1981 (Board Order 176, 46 FR 38941, 
7/30/81) and expanded on April 15, 1985 (Board Order 299, 50 FR 16119, 
4/24/85); November 27, 1989 (Board Order 453, 54 FR 50258, 12/5/89); 
April 20, 1990 (Board Order 471, 55 FR 17775, 4/27/90); February 20, 
1996 (Board Order 802, 61 FR 7237, 2/27/96); August 26, 1996 (Board 
Order 843, 61 FR 46763, 9/5/96); and April 5, 2001 (Board Order 1162, 
66 FR 19423, 4/16/01). The general-purpose zone project currently 
consists of 17 sites (some 300 acres) for warehousing/storage 
operations in the Detroit, Michigan area.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include an additional site, Proposed Site 18 (52 acres, 
744,570 sq. ft. warehousing space)--7111 Crabb Road, Temperance, 
Michigan, Bedford Township (Monroe County). The site is owned by 
Acquiport-Temperance LLC, which leases the site to TNT Logistics, which 
has a long-term contract to provide warehousing and distribution 
services for Michelin North America. The site will be used for 
warehousing/ distribution activities, initially by Michelin North 
America, currently the major occupant of the site, with space available 
for other interested companies in the future. 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.
