    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
(the Board) by the South Louisiana Port Commission, grantee of FTZ 124,

June 14, 2001.
    SZ 124D was approved on June 1, 1995 (Board Order 748, 60 FR 30267, 
06/08/95). The subzone currently consists of two sites (981 acres) and 
92 miles of pipeline. The subzone facilities include:

    The applicant is now requesting authority to expand the subzone to 
include a fifth parcel within Site 1: Parcel E (103.5 acres)--tank

C). The proposed site includes a 3000 foot pipeline right of way 
connecting the tank farm site with the Brine Storage Reservoir. 
Currently, two storage tanks are under construction, each of which will 
hold a maximum of 650,000 barrels of crude petroleum product. LOOP may 
install up to ten additional tanks (6.6 million barrel capacity) on the 
proposed site. The expansion site will be used for segregated crude 
petroleum handling.
