          - [Docket 28-2000] 

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 June 9, 2000. 

                    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); December 15, 1997 (Board Order 941, 62 FR 67044, 12/23/97); and, July 17, 1998 (Board Order 995, 63 FR 40878, 7/31/98). The zone project currently consists of two sites in the Louisville, Kentucky area:                     *Site 1*                     (1,298 acres)—located within the Riverport Industrial Complex; and, (247 acres)—along Johnsontown Road, which is adjacent to the Riverport Industrial Complex;                     *Site 2*                     (593 acres)—located at the junction of Gene Snyder Freeway and La Grange Road in eastern Jefferson County;                     *Site 3*                     (142 acres)—U.S. Navy Ordnance Facility, 5403 Southside Drive, Louisville;                     *Site 4*                     (2,311 acres)—consisting of the Louisville International Airport and three other airport-related parcels; and,                     *Site 5*                     (70 acres)—the Ashland Inc. Tank Farm and pipelines, 4510 Algonquin Parkway along the Ohio River, Louisville, which supplies part of the airport's fuel system.                 

The applicant is now requesting authority to add another parcel to Site 1: (130 acres)—Greenbelt and Lower Hunter's Trace Roads, adjacent to northern boundary of existing Site 1. The parcel is 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.
