BILLING CODE 3510-DS-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Foreign-Trade Zones Board [Docket 49-2011] Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone—Brunswick, ME; Application An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority to establish a general-purpose foreign-trade zone at a site in Brunswick, Maine, adjacent to the Portland CBP 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 July 26, 2011. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under Maine Statute Title 5, Section 13083-Q. The proposed zone would be the second general-purpose zone for the Portland CBP port of entry. The existing zone is as follows: FTZ 263, Auburn, Maine (Grantee: Lewiston-Auburn Economic Growth Council, Board Order 1354, 10/01/04). The proposed zone would consist of one site in Brunswick, Maine: Proposed Site 1 (394 acres)—within the 3,200-acre Brunswick Landing's Airport complex located at the intersection of Bath Road and Fitch Avenue.

The site is owned by the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority. The application indicates a need for zone services in the Brunswick, Maine area. 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. Such requests would be made to the Board on a case-by-case basis.
