In The Supreme Court 

Julius Powell, Petitioner, 

v. 

State of South Carolina, Respondent. 

Appellate Case No. 2010-154527 

Appeal From Lexington County 

R. Lawton McIntosh, Post-Conviction Relief Judge 

L. Casey Manning, Plea Judge 

Unpublished Opinion No. 2012-MO-035 

Submitted September 5, 2012 – Filed September 12, 2012 

AFFIRMED 

Tricia A. Blanchette, of Columbia, for Petitioner. 

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney 

General John McIntosh, and Senior Assistant Deputy 

Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, all of Columbia, for 

Respondent. 

PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the denial of his 

application for post-conviction relief (PCR). 
Because there is sufficient evidence to support the PCR judge's finding that 

petitioner did not knowingly and intelligently waive his right to a direct appeal, we 

grant certiorari as to petitioner's Question I, dispense with further briefing, and 

proceed with a review of the direct appeal issue pursuant to Davis v. State, 288 

S.C. 290, 342 S.E.2d 60 (1986). The petition for a writ of certiorari is denied as to 

petitioner's Question II. 

Petitioner's convictions and sentences are affirmed pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), 

SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. McKinney, 278 S.C. 107, 292 

S.E.2d 598 (1982) (failure to object at the plea proceeding that the guilty plea is 

not knowing and voluntary precludes consideration of the issue on appeal). 

AFFIRMED. 

TOAL, C.J., PLEICONES, BEATTY, KITTREDGE and HEARN, JJ., 

concur.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 66-2000]


Foreign-Trade Zone 199--Texas City, Texas; Application for 
Subzone, ISP Technologies Inc. (Chemical Plant), Texas City, TX

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the Texas City Foreign-Trade Zone Corporation, grantee 
of FTZ 199, requesting special-purpose subzone status for the chemical 
plant facilities of ISP Technologies Inc., located in Texas City, 
Texas. 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 
November 28, 2000.
    The facility is located at 4501 Attwater Avenue, Texas City, Texas. 
The application is requesting the use of zone procedures only for the 
portion of the facility that processes butanediol (B1D) into 
butyrolactone (BLO). This portion of the facility (2.2 acres, 170 
employees) has the capacity to produce 140,000 pounds per day of BLO 
(HTS 2932.29.50 and 3824.90.47; duty rate 3.7%). All of the B1D is 
sourced from abroad (HTS 2905.39.10; duty rate 7.9%).
    FTZ procedures would exempt ISP from Customs duty payments on the 
foreign components used in export production. Some 35 percent of the 
BLO produced from the imported B1D in 1999 was exported. On its 
domestic sales, ISP would be able to choose the duty rates during 
Customs entry procedures that apply to BLO (3.7%) for the foreign input 
noted above. The request indicates that the savings from FTZ procedures 
would help improve

the plant's international competitiveness.
    In accordance with the Board's regulations, a member of the FTZ 
Staff has been designated examiner to investigate the application and
