Proposed Foreign-Trade Zone--Victorville, CA; Application and Public Hearing

An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) Board (the Board) by the Southern California Logistics Airport Authority (a California public corporation), to establish a general- purpose foreign-trade zone in Victorville, California. The U.S. Customs Service has designated the Southern California Logistics Airport as a Customs 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 filedon December 16, 1999. The applicant is authorized to make the proposal under section 6302 of the California Code.

The proposed zone site (1,954 acres) is located at the Southern California Logistics Airport complex (the former George Air Force Base), 18374 Readiness Street, Victorville. The site includes air cargo and intermodal transfer facilities. The U.S. Air Force is in the process of transferring the facility to the applicant, which will operate the commercial airport complex, as well as the foreign-trade zone.

The application indicates a need for foreign-trade zone services in the Victorville/east central San Bernardino County region. Several firms have indicated an interest in using zone procedures for warehousing/distribution activity. 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, a member of the FTZ Staff has been 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 February 3, 2000, 10 a.m., at the Victorville City Hall Council Chambers, 14343 Civic Drive, Victorville, California 92392.
