is within and adjacent to the Fort
Wayne Customs and Border Protection

The applicant is requesting authority

ASF, and the applicant proposes that
Site 3 be so exempted. The applicant is
also requesting that Sites 2 and 4 be
removed from the zone project.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, Elizabeth Whiteman of the
FTZ Staff is designated examiner to
evaluate and analyze the facts and
information presented in the application
and case record and to report findings
and recommendations to the Board.
