Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Docket 32–96]

Foreign-Trade Zone 31—Granite City,

Illinois; Application for Subzone

Status; Shell Oil Company (Oil

Refinery Complex); Madison County,

Illinois

An application has been submitted to

the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the

Board) by the Tri-City Port District,

grantee of FTZ 31, requesting specialpurpose subzone status for the oil

refinery complex of Shell Oil Company,

located in Madison County, Illinois. 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 April 17, 1996.

The refinery complex (1,922 acres,

1,100 employees) consists of 3 sites and

related pipelines in Madison County,

Illinois, some 25 miles east of St. Louis,

Missouri: Site 1 (1533 acres)—main

refinery complex (290,000 BPD) located

at Hwy 111 in Wood River Township,

including areas located in the towns of

Roxana, Hartford, South Roxana and

Wood River; Site 2 (289 acres)—crude

oil storage facility (3.2 mil. barrel

capacity) located across Hwy 111 from

the refinery, and; Site 3 (100 acres)—

sulfur recovery plant located adjacent to

the refinery.

The refinery complex is used to

produce fuels and petrochemical

feedstocks. Fuels produced include

gasoline, jet fuel, distillates, diesel, and

residual fuels. Petrochemical feedstocks

and refinery by-products may include

methane, ethane, propane, butane,

butylene, toluene, propylene, paraffin

wax, carbon black oil, cumene, sulfur

and petroleum coke. About 60 percent

of the crude oil and related products

(e.g., condensate) (90 percent of inputs),

and some feedstocks and motor fuel

blendstocks used in producing fuel

products are sourced abroad.

Zone procedures would exempt the

activity 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) instead of the duty rates that

would otherwise apply to the foreignsourced inputs (e.g., crude oil). The

duty rates on crude oil and condensate

range from 5.25¢/barrel 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, a member of the FTZ Staff
18380 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 81 / Thursday, April 25, 1996 / Notices

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 24, 1996. Rebuttal

comments in response to material

submitted during the foregoing period

may be submitted during the subsequent

15-day period (to July 9, 1996).

A copy of the application and

accompanying exhibits will be available

for public inspection at each of the

following locations:
