BILLING CODE 3510–DT–M

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 12–95]

Foreign-Trade Zone 22, Chicago,

Illinois Proposed Foreign-Trade

Subzone UNO–VEN Company (Oil

Refinery and Petroleum Coking

Complex) Will County, Illinois

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Illinois International Port

District, grantee of FTZ 22, requesting

special-purpose subzone status for the

oil refinery and petroleum coking

complex of the UNO–VEN Company

(joint-venture between VPHI Midwest,

Inc. (subsidiary of Petroleos de

Venezuela, S.A.), and Midwest 76, Inc.

(subsidiary of Union Oil Company of

California)), located in Will County,

Illinois (Chicago area). 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

31, 1995.

The refinery complex (917 acres)

consists of 2 sites in Will County,

Illinois: Site 1 (906 acres)—main

refinery complex located adjacent to the

Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at

135th Street, in the Romeoville area,

some 30 miles southwest of Chicago

(includes on-site coking operation

jointly owned by UNO–VEN and

Lemont Carbon, Inc.); Site 2 (11 acres)—

UNO–VEN crude oil storage (546,000

barrel capacity) within Texaco Trading

and Transport Tank Farm, located at

301 West Second Street, Lockport.

Crude oil is transported from the tank

farm to the refinery via the Chicap

Pipeline.

The refinery (150,000 barrels per day;

730 employees) is used to produce fuels

and petrochemical feedstocks. Fuels

produced include gasoline, jet fuel,

kerosene, gas oil, diesel fuel, fuel oil,

residual fuels and naphthas.

Petrochemical feedstocks include

methane, ethane, mixed butanes,

benzene, toluene, xylene, and propane.

Refinery by-products include petroleum

coke. Almost all of the crude oil (88

percent of inputs), and some feedstocks

and motor fuel blendstocks are sourced

abroad.

Zone procedures would exempt the

refinery from Customs duty payments

on the foreign products used in its

exports. On domestic sales, the

company would be able to choose the

finished product duty rate

(nonprivileged foreign status—NPF) on

certain petrochemical feedstocks and

refinery by-products (duty-free). The

duty on crude oil ranges from 5.25¢ to

10.5¢/barrel. The application indicates

that the savings from zone procedures

would help improve the refinery’s

international competitiveness.

In accordance with the Board’s

regulations (as revised, 56 FR 50790–

50808, 10–8–91), 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 12, 1995.

Rebuttal comments in response to

material submitted during the foregoing

period may be submitted during the
