Prince William County south and west

of the City of Manassas, and to expand

commuter train service to Gainsville,

consideration include (1) taking no

action; (2) improving existing rail; and

(3) rail relocation.

Letters describing the proposed action

and soliciting comments will be sent to

appropriate Federal, State, and local

agencies. A series of public meetings

and a Location Public Hearing will be

held. Public notice will be given of the

time and place of the meetings and

hearing. The draft EIS will be available

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ruth Hoffman, Office of Assistant Chief

Counsel (Passthroughs and Special

Industries), (202) 622–3130 (not a tollfree number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

petition was received on June 25, 1990.

The petitioner is Monsanto Company, a

manufacturer and exporter of this

substance. The following is a summary

of the information contained in the

petition. The complete petition is

available in the Internal Revenue

Service Freedom of Information Reading

Room.

HTS number: 2917.39.2000

CAS number: 85–68–7

Butyl benzyl phthalate is derived

from the taxable chemicals methane,

propylene, xylene, toluene, and chlorine

and is a liquid produced predominantly

by the reaction of n-butanol and

phthalic anhydride, followed by a

reaction with benzyl chloride in the

presence of a catalyst. n-butanol is

manufactured by the hydrogenation of

n-butyraldehyde, which is derived from

propylene and synthesis gas (hydrogen

and synthesis gas are derived from

natural gas). Benzyl chloride is

produced by direct photochemical

chlorination of toluene. Phthalic

anhydride is produced by the reaction

of o-xylene with air in the presence of

a catalyst.

The stoichiometric material

consumption formula for this substance

is:

CH4 (methane)+C3H6 (propylene)+C8H10

(xylene)+3 O2 (oxygen)+C7H8

(toluene)+Cl2 (chlorine) ——->

C19H20O4 (butyl benzyl phthalate)+2 HCl

(hydrochloric acid)+H2

(hydrogen)+2 H2O (water)

According to the petition, taxable

chemicals constitute 77.25 percent by

weight of the materials used to produce

this substance. The rate of tax for this

substance would be $5.54 per ton. This

is based upon a conversion factor for

methane of 0.05, a conversion factor for

propylene of 0.17, a conversion factor

for xylene of 0.47, a conversion factor

for toluene of 0.32, and a conversion

factor for chlorine of 0.26.
