An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Foreign-Trade Zone of Wisconsin, Ltd., grantee of FTZ 41,
requesting authority to expand its zone in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area,
within the Milwaukee 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 April 22, 1993.
FTZ 41 was approved in 1978 (Board Order 136, 43 FR 46887; 10/11/78), and
expanded in 1981 (Board Order 178, 46 FR 40718; 8/11/81) and in 1985 (Board
Order 315, 50 FR 43749, 10/29/85). The zone project currently consists of 4
sites (200 acres): Site 1 (78,000 sq. ft.)-- within the Ace World Wide
Industrial Park, Milwaukee; Site 2 (120 acres)--West Allis Industrial
Center, West Allis; Site 3 (50 acres)--Northwestern Industrial Park,
Milwaukee; and, Site 4 (30 acres)--at Milwaukee's Mitchell International
Airport. An application is currently pending with the Board requesting
authority to delete Sites 3 and 4, to relocate Site 1 to a warehouse
facility (210,500 sq. ft.) located at 1925 East Kelly Lane, Cudahy,
Wisconsin, and to add a site (300 acres) at the Port of Milwaukee (FTZ Doc.

The applicant is now requesting authority to further expand the general-

and Watertown Plank Road, Wauwatosa (Milwaukee County), Wisconsin, some 10
miles west of downtown Milwaukee. The park is owned by Milwaukee County and
operated by the Milwaukee County Research Park Corporation, a non-profit
corporation affiliated with the County.
In accordance with the Board's regulations (as revised, 56 FR 50790-50808,
