    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 
expand and reorganize its zone in the Baltimore, Maryland area, within 
the Baltimore Customs port of entry. 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
