Foreign-Trade Zone 53; Rogers County

(Tulsa), Oklahoma; Application for

Subzone Status ARCO Pipe Line

Company (Crude Oil Terminal) Lincoln

County, Oklahoma

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the City of Tulsa-Rogers

County Port Authority, grantee of FTZ

53, requesting special-purpose subzone

status for the crude oil distribution

terminal of ARCO Pipe Line Company

(APL) (wholly-owned subsidiary of

Atlantic Richfield Company), located in

Lincoln County, Oklahoma. 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 March 19, 1997.

The APL terminal (8 tanks/1 million

barrel capacity on 80 acres) is located at

31⁄8 Mile South Linwood, Lincoln

County, Oklahoma, some 3 miles south

of Cushing and 50 miles southwest of

Tulsa. The terminal (13 employees) is

used for the receipt, storage, blending

and distribution via pipeline of crude

oil for use by APL’s oil refinery

customers in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas

and other midwestern and northern

states. Crude oil is delivered to the

terminal via two pipelines from ocean

terminals in Texas City, Texas, and

Freeport, Texas, owned by Seaway

Pipeline Company (general partnership

between wholly-owned subsidiaries of

APL and Phillips Petroleum Company)

and operated by APL.

Zone procedures would allow APL

customers to defer Customs duty

payment on foreign crude oil to

domestic refineries with subzone status.

APL customers would be able to

maintain the appropriate zone status of

the crude so that these refineries can use

zone procedures as authorized by the

FTZ Board. This procedure will give

these refineries the same opportunity to

use zone procedures for foreign crude

delivered from the APL system as those

refineries with subzone status that take

direct delivery of foreign crude from

vessels.

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 is invited from

interested parties. Submissions (original

and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the

Board’s Executive Secretary at the

address below. The closing period for

their receipt is June 2, 1997. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to June 16, 1997).

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Brazos River Harbor

Navigation District (Port Freeport),

grantee of FTZ 149, requesting specialpurpose subzone status for the crude oil

distribution terminal of Seaway Pipeline

Company (Seaway) (general partnership

between wholly-owned subsidiaries of

ARCO Pipe Line Company (APL) and

Phillips Petroleum Company), located

in Brazoria County, 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 March 19, 1997.

The Seaway facilities (113 acres)

barrel capacity on 34 acres)—Jones

Creek Tank Farm, Peach Point Wildlife

Management Area, State Highway 36,

some 5 miles west of the marine

terminal. The terminal facilities (13

employees), operated by APL, are used

distribution via pipeline of crude oil for

use by Seaway’s oil refinery customers

in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and other

of the crude is transhipped to APL’s

terminal in Cushing, Oklahoma.

Zone procedures would allow Seaway

customers to defer Customs duty

payment on foreign crude oil to

domestic refineries with subzone status.

Seaway customers would be able to

maintain the appropriate zone status of

the crude so that these refineries can use

zone procedures as authorized by the

FTZ Board. This procedure will give

take direct delivery of foreign crude

from vessels.
