[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:
