[Order No. 968]

 
Expansion of Foreign-Trade Zone 181, Akron-Canton, Ohio, Area

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of June 
18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) adopts the following Order:
    Whereas, an application from Akron-Canton Regional Airport 
Authority, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone 181, for authority to expand 
FTZ 181 to include a new site in Mansfield, Ohio, adjacent to the 
Cleveland/Akron Customs port of entry, was filed by the Board on April 
28, 1997 (FTZ Docket 38-97, 62 FR 26773, 5/15/97);
    Whereas, the grant of authority for FTZ 181 was recently reissued 
to the Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium (Board Order 965, 
3/13/98), which has replaced Akron-Canton Regional Airport as grantee 
and applicant in this case;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in Federal 
Register and the application has been processed pursuant to the FTZ Act 
and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to expand FTZ 181 is approved, subject to the Act 
and the Board's regulations, including Section 400.28, and subject to 
the standard 2,000-acre activation limit for the overall zone project.
