[Docket 2-2005]


Foreign-Trade Zone 74--Baltimore, MD; Request for Voluntary 
Termination of Baltimore Marine Industries Subzone 74A

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Baltimore Development Corporation, on behalf of the 
City of Baltimore, Maryland, grantee of FTZ 74, requesting authority to 
terminate Subzone 74A at the shipbuilding facilities of Baltimore 
Marine Industries, Inc. The application was submitted pursuant to the 
provisions of the Foreign-Trade Zones Act (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), and the 
regulations of the Board (15 CFR part 400). It was formally filed on 
January 7, 2005.
    Subzone 74A was approved by the Board on March 14, 1985 (Board 
Order 290, 50 FR 13057; 4/2/85) as Bethlehem Steel Corporation and 
currently consists of 215 acres located on the lower east bank of the 
Patapsco River, on the west side of the Sparrows Point Peninsula, some 
6 miles southeast of Baltimore.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to terminate the subzone 
stating that Baltimore Marine Industries declared bankruptcy in 1999 
and no longer has need for subzone status.
    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.

parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the
