[Docket 9-2009]


Foreign-Trade Zone 114 -- Peoria, Illinois, Area, Application for 
Reorganization/Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board) by the Economic Development Council for Central 
Illinois, Inc., grantee of FTZ 114, requesting authority to reorganize 
and expand its zone project adjacent to the Peoria Customs and Border 
Protection 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 March 6, 2009.
    FTZ 114 was approved on December 21, 1984 (Board Order 288, 50 FR 
1606, 1/11/85). The general-purpose zone project currently consists of 
the following sites (314 acres total): Site 1 (88 acres) -- located at 
1925 Darst Street, Peoria; Site 2 (150 acres) -- United Facilities, 
Inc., 603 North Main Street, East Peoria; Site 3 (17 acres) -- located 
at 1001 Wesley Road, Creve Coeur; Site 4 (2 acres) -- located at 5703 
Smithville Road, Bartonville; Site 5 (37 acres) -- located at 278 Koch 
Street, Pekin; Site 5A (145,000 sq. ft.) -- located at 2314 E. Wilkins 
Drive, Mossville; and, Site 6 (17 acres, 2 parcels) -- located at 6409 
West Smithville Road, Bartonville.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to reorganize and expand 
the general-purpose zone project as follows: delete Existing Site 3 in 
its entirety due to changed circumstances; and, add two new sites: 
Proposed Site 7 (360 acres) --

located at the former Chanute Air Force Base, 601 S. Century Boulevard, 
Rantoul; and, Proposed Site 8 (333 acres) -- Logistics Park Galesburg, 
659 Knox Road 1440N (U.S. 150 East and I-74), Galesburg. The proposal 
would result in an overall net increase of 676 acres in total zone 
space. The proposed sites will provide warehousing and distribution 
services to area businesses. No specific manufacturing authority is 
being requested at this time. Such requests would be made to the Board 
on a case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Camille Evans of the 
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
    Public comment is invited from interested parties. Submissions 
(original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's Executive 
Secretary at the address listed below. The closing period for their 
receipt is May 12, 2009. Rebuttal comments in response to material

subsequent 15-day period (to May 27, 2009).
    A copy of the application will be available for public inspection
