Foreign-Trade Zone 38--Spartanburg County, South Carolina
Application for Expansion
An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the South Carolina State Ports Authority, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 38, requesting authority to expand its zone in
Spartanburg County, South Carolina, within the Greenville/Spartanburg,
South Carolina 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 21, 1996.
FTZ 38 was approved on May 4, 1978 (Board Order 131, 43 FR 20526,
5/12/78) and expanded on November 9, 1994 (Board Order 715, 59 FR
59992, 11/21/94). The zone project currently consists of three sites in
Spartanburg County: Site 1 (20 acres)--U.S. Highway 29 Industrial Park,
Wellford; Site 2 (111 acres)--International Transport Center, Greer;
and Site 3 (111 acres)--Highway 290 Commerce Park, Duncan.
The applicant is now requesting authority to further expand the
general-purpose zone to include a site (Proposed Site 4) which would
encompass the Wingo Corporate Park (473 acres), a private industrial
park located some 5 miles northwest of Spartanburg, South Carolina, on
New Cut, Blackstock, and Mt Zion Roads in Spartanburg County. 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 October 28, 1996. Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing period may be submitted during
the subsequent 15-day period (to November 12, 1996).
