Solon Road (250,000 sq. ft.), 30400 Solon Road (110,000 sq. ft.), and 
31400 Aurora Road (117,375 sq. ft.) located within the Solon Business 
Park in Solon (expires 4/1/05). Three applications are currently 
pending with the FTZ Board: to expand Site 3 to include the Cleveland 
Business Park in Cleveland (Docket 54-2003); to expand the zone to 
include the Broad Oak Business Park (Proposed Site 12) in the Village 
of Oakwood (Docket 19-2004); and, to expand Site 10 (Solon Business 
Park) and Site 7B (Progress Drive Business Park) and to reorganize the 
overall zone project (Docket 20-2004).
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand existing Site 7 
to include the Strongsville Commerce Center (proposed Site 7C, 212 
acres) located in an area bounded by Drake Road to the north, Boston 
Road to the south, Marks Road to the west and Prospect Road to the 
east. All of the property is located entirely within the City of 
Strongsville. The site is owned by the City of Strongsville (182 acres) 
and Geis Development Corporation (30 acres). (A pending application to 
reorganize FTZ 40 (Docket 20-2004) proposes to consolidate and renumber 
the FTZ sites, and under this plan the proposed Strongsville Commerce 
Center site would become proposed Site 6C.) No specific manufacturing 
authority is being requested 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
