Expansion

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board (the Board), by the Port of Olympia, Washington, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 216, requesting authority to expand its zone in the 
Olympia, Washington, area, adjacent to the Port of Olympia Customs port

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 
May 26, 1999.
    FTZ 216 was approved on August 16, 1996 (Board Order 836, 61 FR 
45400, 8/29/96). The general-purpose zone project currently consists of 
13 sites (3,244 acres) in four counties (Thurston, Lewis, Mason and 
Kitsap) in the South Puget Sound area: Site 1 (283 acres)--Port of 
Olympia port terminal facility, Thurston County; Site 2 (800 acres)-- 
Olympia Airport/Industrial Park complex, Thurston County; Site 3 (389 
acres)--Marvin Road/Hawks Prairie industrial/business park, Thurston 
County; Site 4 (109 acres)--Yelm Industrial Park, Thurston County; Site 
5 (165 acres)--Port of Centralia Industrial Park, Lewis County; Site 6 
(87 acres)--Chehalis Industrial Area, Lewis County; Site 7 (269 
acres)-- Port of Chehalis Industrial Park, Lewis County; Site 8 (39 
acres)--Klein/South Prairie Industrial Park, Lewis County; Site 9 (420 
acres)--Sanderson Field within the Port of Shelton complex, Mason 
County; Site 10 (130 acres)--Johns Prairie Industrial Park within the 
Port of Shelton complex, Mason County; Site 11 (217 acres)--Port of 
Bremerton/Bremerton Airport South, Kitsap County; Site 12 (312 acres)--
Port of Bremerton/Olympic View Industrial Park, Kitsap County; and Site 
13 (24 acres)--warehouse facility (includes Darigold, Inc.), Lewis 
County.
    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand one of its 
existing sites (Site 3) to include all of Commerce Place, a business 
park development within the 1,153-acre Meridian Campus Planned 
Community in the City of Lacey. The proposed area is contiguous to 
existing Site 3. The Business Park contains a total of 99 acres of 
which 23 acres are currently included in Site 3. Commerce Place also 
contains 108 acres of light industrial sites. The 184-acre expansion 
would increase the size of Site 3 to a total of 573 acres. 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
