currently has a service area that includes the City of Baltimore and 
the Counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil and Harford.

area of the zone to include Howard and Queen Anne Counties, as 
described in the application. If approved, the grantee would be able to

needs for FTZ designation. The application indicates that the proposed 
expanded service area is adjacent to the Baltimore Customs and Border 
Protection Port of Entry.
