[Docket 52-2008]


Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone; Lansing, MI; Application and Public 
Hearing

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Capital Region Airport Authority to establish a 
general-purpose foreign-trade zone at the Capital Region International 
Airport in Lansing, Michigan. The Capital Region International Airport 
has been designated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection as a user fee 
airport. The application was submitted pursuant to the provisions of 
the FTZ 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 1, 2008. The 
applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Michigan Public Acts 
1963, No. 154.
    The proposed zone would consist of one site covering 846 acres, 
located at the Capital Region International Airport, at 4100 Capital 
City Boulevard, Lansing, Michigan. The site is owned by the Capital 
Region Airport Authority.
    The application indicates a need for zone services in Lansing, 
Michigan. Several firms have indicated an interest in using zone 
procedures for warehousing/distribution activities for a variety of 
products. Specific manufacturing approvals are not being sought at this 
time. Requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, Kathleen Boyce of the 
FTZ staff is designated examiner to investigate the application and 
report to the Board.
    As part of the investigation, the Commerce examiner will hold a 
public hearing on November 6, 2008 at 1 pm, Capital Region Airport 
Authority, 4100 Capital City Boulevard, 1st Floor Community Room,
