    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Foreign-Trade Zone of Southeast Texas, Inc., grantee of 
FTZ 116, requesting authority to expand FTZ 116--Site 1 to include 
additional acreage in Port Arthur, Texas. 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR part
