Foreign-Trade Zone 38--Spartanburg County, SC; Application for 
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board), by the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee 
of FTZ 38, requesting authority to expand its zone in Spartanburg 
County, South Carolina, within the Greenville/Spartanburg 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 
October 29, 2004.
    FTZ 38 was approved on May 4, 1978 (Board Order 131, 43 FR 20526, 
5/12/78) and expanded on June 24, 1994 (Board Order 697, 59 FR 35096, 
7/8/94); on November 9, 1994 (Board Order 715, 59 FR 59992, 11/21/94); 
on July 23, 1997 (Board Order 910, 62 FR 40797, 7/30/97); on January 8, 
1999 (Board Order 1015, 64 FR 3064, 1/8/99); on June 3, 1999 (Board 
Order 1038, 64 FR 32845, 6/18/99); on March 27, 2000 (Board Order 1084, 
65 FR 18283, 4/7/00); and, on August 21, 2003 (Board Order 1283, 68 FR 
52385, 9/3/03).
    The general-purpose zone project currently consists of five sites 
(1,408 acres) in Spartanburg County/Laurens County: Site 1 (20 acres)--
U.S. Highway 29 Industrial Park, Wellford; Site 2 (681 acres)--
International Transport Center (111 acres) and Gateway International 
Business Center (570 acres), Greer; Site 3 (116 acres)--Highway 290 
Commerce Park (111 acres) and a warehouse facility (5 acres) located at 
150 Parkway West, Duncan; Site 4 (473 acres)--Wingo Corporate Park, 
Spartanburg; and, Temporary Site 5 (118 acres)--TNT Logistics/Michelin 
North America, Inc., facility located at 101 Michelin Drive, Laurens 
(expires 1/1/06).
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the general-
purpose zone to include an additional site in the area: Proposed Site 6 
(20 acres)--Lakeside Business Center located at 961 Berry Shoals Road 
in Greer. The applicant is also requesting that 118 acres at Site 2 
(Gateway International Business Center) be restored to zone status and 
that Temporary Site 5 (118 acres) be granted zone status on a permanent 
basis. (A minor boundary modification was approved on March 5, 2004 
(A(27f)-11-2004), removing 118 acres from Site 2 (Gateway) to establish 
the temporary site.) The sites will be used primarily for warehousing 
and distribution activities. The owners of the site are the Greenville-
Spartanburg Airport Commission (Site 2), Acquiport-Laurens, LLC 
(Temporary Site 5) and MM BG, LLC and William Diangikes (Proposed Site 
6). No specific manufacturing authority is being requested at this 
time. Such requests would be made 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.
