An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board

Maryland Department of Transportation, grantee of Foreign-Trade Zone

include an additional site in Baltimore, Maryland, within the Baltimore

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 September 27, 1995.
