    Foreign-Trade Zone 81; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Application for 
    Expansion (Pease International Tradeport)
    
        An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
    Board (the Board) by the New Hampshire State Port Authority, grantee of 
    FTZ 81, requesting authority to expand FTZ 81 to include an additional 
    site in Portsmouth, within the Portsmouth 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 October 23, 1996.
        FTZ 81 was approved on January 20, 1983 (Board Order 207, 48 FR 
    4308, 1/31/83) and expanded on April 12, 1985 (Board Order 302, 50 FR 
    15948, 4/23/85). The general-purpose zone currently consists of four 
    sites: Site 1 (10 acres)--within the Port Authority's deep water port 
    facility at 555 Market Street on Portsmouth Harbor; Site 2 (175 
    acres)--Portsmouth Industrial Park on Lafayette Road, Portsmouth; Site 
    3 (54 acres)--Crosby Industrial Park on Crosby Road, Dover; and, Site 4 
    (1,469 acres)--industrial/commercial complex known as the Old Grenier 
    Air Force Base, Manchester.
        The applicant is now requesting authority to further expand the 
    general-purpose zone to include an additional site (proposed Site 5--
    2,095 acres)--at the Pease International Tradeport, formerly the Pease 
    Air Force Base, 601 Spaulding Turnpike, Portsmouth. The development 
    agency for the project is the Pease Development Authority. Firms will 
    be able to utilize zone services in an industrial park environment 
    which would include activities such as warehousing/distribution, 
    testing and processing of industrial machinery, research in high 
    technology fields, and airport related functions. 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.
        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 the address below. The closing period 
    for their receipt is January 6, 1997. Rebuttal comments in response to 
    material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during 
    the subsequent 15-day period (to January 21, 1997).
        A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
    available for public inspection at each of the following locations:
    
    U.S. Department of Commerce, Export Assistance Center, 601 Spaulding
