Foreign-Trade Zone 181--Akron-Canton, Ohio Area; Application for
Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board
(the Board) by the Akron-Canton Regional Airport Authority, grantee of
Foreign-Trade Zone 181, requesting authority to expand its zone in the
Akron-Canton, Ohio area, adjacent to the Cleveland/Akron 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
October 10, 1996.

    FTZ 181 was approved on December 23, 1991 (Board Order 546, 57 FR
41, 1/2/92). The general-purpose zone currently consists of 110 acres
within 2,121-acre Akron-Canton Regional Airport in North Canton, Ohio.
An application is currently pending with the Board to expand the zone
to include three additional sites in Trumbull, Columbiana and Stark
Counties, Ohio (Docket 56-96).

    This application is requesting authority to further expand the
general-purpose zone to include two sites in Summit County (Akron
area), Ohio: a warehouse facility on a site (30 acres) at 1779 Marvo
Drive, Summit County; and, a warehouse facility on a site (5.5 acres)
at 989 Home Avenue, Summit County. Both sites are owned/operated by
Terminal Warehouse, Inc. 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.
