Tosco Corporation (Oil Refinery

Complex); Delaware County, PA

Notice is hereby given that the

application of the Philadelphia Regional

Port Authority, grantee of FTZ 35,

requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the oil refinery complex of

Tosco Corporation (Tosco), in Delaware

County, PA (Doc. 58–95, 60 FR 53164,

10/12/95) has been amended to reflect

certain changes to the refinery’s

operations subsequent to its purchase by

Tosco from BP Exploration & Oil Inc.

Upon taking over the refinery on

February 2, 1996, Tosco requested that

the processing of the pending subzone

application be put on hold until further

notice. Tosco now has requested that

the processing of the application, as

amended, be resumed. It plans to restart

refinery operations on May 1, 1997.

The refinery (185,000 barrels per day,

360 employees) will be used to produce

fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.

Fuels produced include gasoline, jet

fuel, distillates, residual fuels, and

naphthas. Petrochemical feedstocks and

refinery by-products may include

methane, ethane, butane, propane,

toluene, benzene, xylene, petroleum

coke, asphalt and carbon black. LPG

(liquified petroleum gas) recovery

facilities and two 15,000 barrel tanks

have been added enabling all the LPG

produced in the refinery to be recovered

and sold.

The application remains otherwise

unchanged.

The comment period is reopened

until March 24, 1997.

Copies of the application and the

amendment are available for public

inspection at each of the following

Foreign-Trade Zone 84—Houston,

Texas Area Application for Expansion

of Subzone 84L California Microwave—

Microwave Network Systems, Inc.;

Stafford, Texas

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Port of Houston

Authority, grantee of FTZ 84, requesting

authority to relocate Subzone 84L,

authorized for California Microwave—

Microwave Network Systems, Inc.

(microwave telecommunications

products), to a larger facility in Stafford,

Texas, within the Houston 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 January 22, 1997.

Subzone 84L was approved on 12/28/

94 (Board Order 722, 60 FR 2377, 1/9/

95) for the microwave radio/

telecommunications products

manufacturing facility (3.5 acres, 240

persons) of Microwave Networks, Inc.

(MNI), located in Harris County, Texas.

Approval was subject to the restriction

requiring that the company elect

privileged foreign status on foreign

components admitted to the subzone.

MNI was acquired in 1996 by California

Microwave, Inc. and now operates

under the name of California

Microwave—Microwave Network

Systems, Inc. (CMMNS).

The zone grantee is now requesting

authority on behalf of CMMNS to

relocate the subzone from the currently

authorized manufacturing plant to a

larger manufacturing facility (16 acres,

355 employees), located at 4000

Greenbriar Drive in Stafford, Texas. The

application includes a request for an

expanded level of manufacturing

authority but the scope of the products

made under FTZ procedures will not

change (microwave radios for use in

cellular and other telecommunications

networks). FTZ authority would remain

subject to the restrictions approved in

Board Order 722.

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.

Public comment on the application is

invited from interested parties.
