    Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Yuma County, Arizona Application and 
    Public Hearing
    
        An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
    (the Board) by the Yuma County Airport Authority, Inc. (YCAA), (an 
    Arizona non-profit civic corporation), to establish a general-purpose 
    foreign-trade zone in Yuma County, Arizona, within the San Luis Customs 
    port of entry on the U.S.-Mexico border. 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 February 9, 1996. The applicant is 
    authorized to make the proposal under Section 44-6501 of the Arizona 
    Revised Statutes.
        The proposed zone would be located on a 79-acre site within the 
    Yuma International Airport complex, which is 
    
    [[Page 6973]]
    owned by Yuma County and leased to YCAA. The applicant plans to develop 
    the first phase of the zone by constructing a 20,000 square foot multi-
    tenant building.
        The application contains evidence of the need for zone services in 
    the Yuma area. Several firms have indicated an interest in using zone 
    procedures for warehousing/distribution of such items as fresh fruits 
    and vegetables, seed and plants, citrus and meat. Specific 
    manufacturing approvals are not being sought at this time. 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.
        As part of the investigation, the Commerce examiner will hold a 
    public hearing on April 3, 1996, at 9:00 a.m., at the Yuma Civic & 
    Convention Center, 1440 West Desert Hills Drive, Yuma, Arizona.
        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 April 18, 1996. Rebuttal comments in response to 
    material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during 
    the subsequent 15-day period to May 3, 1996.
        A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
    available during this time for public inspection at the following 
    locations:
    
    Yuma County Library, 350 South 3rd Avenue, Yuma, Arizona 85364
