[Docket 65-97]
Foreign-Trade Zone 29--Louisville, Kentucky; Application for
Expansion
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ)
Board (the Board) by the Louisville and Jefferson County Riverport
Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 29, requesting authority to
expand FTZ 29, Louisville, Kentucky, within the Louisville 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
August 12, 1997.
FTZ 29 was approved on May 26, 1977 (Board Order 118, 42 FR 29323,
6/8/77), and expanded on January 31, 1989 (Board Order 429, 54 FR 5992,
2/7/89). The zone project currently consists of two sites in the
Louisville, Kentucky area: Site 1 (1,319 acres)--located within the
Riverport Industrial Complex; and Site 2 (675 acres)--located at the
junction of Gene Snyder Freeway and La Grange Road in eastern Jefferson
County. In addition, an application is currently pending with the Board
for three additional sites in Louisville (Docket 71-96; 61 FR 52909,
10/9/96).
The applicant is now requesting authority to add yet another site:
Proposed Site 6 (205 acres)--along Johnstown Road. The site is adjacent
to the Riverport Industrial Complex (Site 1), and is also owned by the
applicant. No specific manufacturing authority is being requested 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 October 21, 1997. Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during
the subsequent 15-day period (to November 5, 1997).
A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available during this time for public inspection at each of the
following locations:
