Incorporated, grantee of FTZ 32, requesting authority to expand its 
zone to include a site in Medley, Florida, within the Miami 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 
August 10, 2006.
    FTZ 32 was approved on September 6, 1977 (Board Order 123, 42 FR 
46568, 9/16/77), expanded on March 3, 1982 (Board Order 184, 47 FR 
10612, 3/11/82), and expanded on March 20, 1990 (Board Order 466, 55 FR 
11631, 3/29/90). The zone project currently consists of the following 
sites: Site 1 (72 acres, 750,000 sq. ft.)--warehousing and exhibition 
center located at NW 25th Street and 107th Avenue, Miami; Site 2 (205 
acres)--within the Beacon Centre development located north of NW 12th 
Street and east of 87th Avenue, Miami; and, Temporary Site (1 acre) 
within a 49-acre warehouse facility located at 12500 N.W. 112th Avenue,

purpose zone to include the entire multi-user, food-service warehouse 
facility located at 12500 N.W. 112th Avenue in Medley (Proposed Site 3,

Inc. The proposed site will also include the temporary site. The 
applicant is also requesting that 1 acre (50,000 sq. ft.) at Site 1 be 
restored to zone status. (A minor modification was approved in June 
2006 (A(27f)-29-2006) removing 1 acre (50,000 sq. ft.) from Site 1 to 
establish the temporary site.) No specific manufacturing requests are 
being made 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.
