I certify that the following action will

Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities and

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and service to the

Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

Foreign-Trade Zone 33—Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania Area Application for

Expansion

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board

(the Board) by the Regional Industrial

Development Corporation of

Southwestern Pennsylvania, grantee of

FTZ 33, requesting authority to expand

its zone in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

area, within the Pittsburgh 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 November 17, 1997.

Zone 33 was approved on November

9, 1977 (Board Order 124, 42 F.R. 59398,

11/17/77) and expanded on March 16,

1981 (Board Order 172, 46 F.R. 18063,

3/23/81). The general-purpose portion

of the FTZ project currently consists of

two sites: Site 1 (43 acres)—within the

500-acre RIDC Park West, Park West

Drive, Findlay Township, Allegheny

County; and, Site 2 (3 acres)—S.H. Bell

Company’s London Metal Exchange

warehouse facility, One Third Street,

Allegheny County, Braddock.

The applicant is now requesting

authority to expand both existing sites

and to add two new general-purpose

sites to its zone project as follows: Site

1—add 6 acres to the existing 43-acre

Site 1 within the RIDC Park West

complex (includes 3 acres that was

previously transferred to Site 2 in 1994);

Site 2—add 6 acres to the existing Site

2, covering the entire S.H. Bell

Company’s warehouse facility; Proposed

Site 3 (5,427 acres)—within the 10,000-

acre Pittsburgh International Airport

complex (includes an aviation fuel

depot consisting of four storage tanks),

approximately 10 miles from Pittsburgh;

and, Proposed Site 4 (140 acres)—

Leetsdale Industrial Park, First and

Center Avenues, Leetsdale. The

proposed changes to Sites 1 and 2

would increase these sites to 49 acres

and 9 acres respectively. With the

changes, the new FTZ plan would cover

some 5,625 acres with 25 buildings (1.4

mil. sq. ft.). The two additional sites

would be used primarily for

warehousing/distribution and air cargo

activity. 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 parties.
