Foreign-Trade Zones Board

(Docket 56-2005)


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone - Carroll and Jo-Daviess Counties, 
Illinois, Application and Public Hearing

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Jo-Carroll Foreign Trade Zone Board, a joint-
county entity of the Counties of Carroll and Jo-Daviess, Illinois, to 
establish a general-purpose foreign-trade zone at a site in both 
counties, adjacent to the Davenport, Iowa/Moline and Rock Island, 
Illinois Customs port of entry. The FTZ application was submitted 
pursuant to the provisions of the FTZ Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-
81u), and the regulations of the Board (15 CFR Part 400). It was 
formally filed on November 9, 2005. The applicant is authorized to make 
the proposal under Illinois Statutes 50 ILCS Act 40.
    The proposed zone would be the second general-purpose zone in the 
Davenport, Iowa/Moline and Rock Island, Illinois Customs port of entry. 
The existing zone is as follows: FTZ 133, Davenport, Iowa/Milan, 
Illinois (Grantee: Quad-City Foreign-Trade Zone, Inc., Board Order 338, 
10/29/86).
    The proposed zone consists of one site (2,930 acres), located 
within the Counties of Carroll and Jo-Daviess. The site is located at 
the Eagles Landing Development (formerly the Savanna Army Depot), 18935 
B Street, Savanna, Illinois 61074. The property is in the process of 
being conveyed by the U.S. Army to the Jo-Carroll Depot Local 
Redevelopment Authority, which has converted the former military base 
to commercial use.
    The application indicates a need for zone services in the Counties 
of Carroll and Jo-Daviess. Several firms have indicated an interest in 
using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for such 
products as safety gloves and alcoholic beverages. Specific 
manufacturing approvals are not being sought at this time. 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.
    As part of the investigation, the Commerce examiner will hold a 
public hearing on December 6, 2005, at 9:00 a.m., at the Jo-Carroll 
Depot Local Redevelopment Authority Conference Room, 18935 B Street, 
Savanna, Illinois 61074.
    Public comment on the application is invited from interested 
parties. Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the 
Board's Executive Secretary at one of the following addresses below:
