    Expansion
    
        An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
    Board (the Board) by the City of New York, grantee of FTZ 1, requesting 
    authority to expand its zone in New York, New York, within the New York 
    Seaport Area Customs port of entry. The 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 February 5, 1998.
        FTZ 1 was approved on January 30, 1936 (Board Order 2) and expanded 
    on June 27, 1974 (Board Order 99, 39 F.R. 24541, 7/3/74). The zone 
    project currently consists of Site 1 (approx. 1 million sq. ft.)--
    Building 77, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Brooklyn.
        The applicant now requests authority to expand the general-purpose 
    zone to include an additional site (Proposed Site 2, 352 acres, 2 
    contiguous parcels), consisting of the Howland Hook Marine Terminal 
    (HHMT) facility (227 acres), N. Washington and Western Avenues, Staten 
    Island, and the adjacent Port Ivory facility (125 acres), Richmond 
    Terrace and Western Avenue, Staten Island. The HHMT facility is owned 
    by the City of New York and operated by the Port Authority of New York 
    and New Jersey. The Port Ivory facility, a closed manufacturing complex 
    owned by The Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Company, is available for 
    multi-tenant

    warehousing and light industrial activities. The proposed expansion 
    site is located within the North Shore Economic Development Zone, 
    established by the State of New York, and within the proposed New York 
    City Waterfront Revitalization Program. 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.
