[Docket 8-98]
Foreign-Trade Zone 151--Findlay, Ohio, Application for Expansion
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Community Development Foundation (CDF),
grantee of FTZ 151, Findlay, Ohio, requesting authority to expand its
zone in Findlay, Ohio, within the Toledo-Sandusky 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 20, 1998.
FTZ 151 was approved on July 6, 1988 (Board Order 389, 53 F.R.
27058, 7/18/88). The general-purpose zone currently consists of 160
acres at the Tall Timbers Industrial Center, intersection of State
Route 12 and County Road 95, Findlay. In a separate pending application
(FTZ Doc. 85-97), the CDF has requested that the FTZ Board reissue the
grant of authority for FTZ 151 to the Findlay/Hancock County Chamber of
Commerce.
The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the existing
FTZ site and to add a new general-purpose site to its FTZ project as
follows: Site 1--add 660 acres to the existing 160 acre zone site at
the Tall Timbers Industrial Center; and, Proposed Site 2 (53 acres)--
Ball Metal Container Group general-purpose warehouse facility, 12340
Township Road 99 East, Findlay. Proposed Site 2 would be used for
warehousing/distribution activities related to Ball Metal's business as
well as for multi-tenant public warehousing activities. The proposed
change would increase Site 1 to 820 acres and the zone overall to 873
acres. FTZ status will make the sites eligible for special Customs
procedures and may also make the sites eligible for benefits provided
under state/local programs. 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 May 4, 1998. Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during
the subsequent 15-day period (to May 18, 1998).
A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available for public inspection at each of the following locations:
