DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 821]

BP Eploration & Oil Inc., (Oil Refinery),

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana; Grant

of Authority for Subzone Status

Pursuant to its authority under the ForeignTrade Zones Act of June 18, 1934, as

amended (19 U.S.C. 81a–81u), the ForeignTrade Zones Board (the Board) adopts the

following Order:

Whereas, by an Act of Congress

approved June 18, 1934, an Act ‘‘To

provide for the establishment * * * of

foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of

the United States, to expedite and

encourage foreign commerce, and for

other purposes,’’ as amended (19 U.S.C.

81a–81u) (the Act), the Foreign-Trade

Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to

grant to qualified corporations the

privilege of establishing foreign-trade

zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs

ports of entry;

Whereas, the Board’s regulations (15

CFR Part 400) provide for the

establishment of special-purpose

subzones when existing zone facilities

cannot serve the specific use involved;

Whereas, an application from the

Board of Harbor Commissioners of the

Port of New Orleans, grantee of ForeignTrade Zone 2, for authority to establish

special-purpose subzone status at the oil

refinery complex of BP Exploration &

Oil Inc., in Plaquemines Parish (New

Orleans area), Louisiana, was filed by

the Board on August 3, 1995, and notice

inviting public comment was given in

the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 40–95,

60 FR 40819, 8–10–95); and,

Whereas, the Board adopts the

findings and recommendations of the

examiner’s report, and finds that the

requirements of the FTZ Act and

Board’s regulations would be satisfied,

and that approval of the application

would be in the public interest if

approval is subject to the conditions

listed below;

Now, therefore, the Board hereby

authorizes the establishment of a

subzone (Subzone 2I) at the oil refinery

of BP Exploration & Oil Inc., in

Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, at the

locations described in the application,

subject to the FTZ Act and the Board’s

regulations, including § 400.28, and

subject to the following conditions:

1. Foreign status (19 CFR §§ 146.41,

146.42) products consumed as fuel for the

refinery shall be subject to the applicable

duty rate.

2. Privileged foreign status (19 CFR

§ 146.41) shall be elected on all foreign

merchandise admitted to the subzone, except

that non-privileged foreign (NPF) status (19

CFR § 146.42) may be elected on refinery

inputs covered under HTSUS Subheadings

# 2709.00.1000–# 2710.00.1050 and

# 2710.00.2500 which are used in the

production of:

—petrochemical feedstocks and refinery byproducts (examiners report, Appendix D);

—products for export; and,

—products eligible for entry under HTSUS

# 9808.00.30 and 9808.00.40 (U.S.

Government purchases).

3. The authority with regard to the NPF

option is initially granted until September

30, 2000, subject to extension.

Signed at Washington, DC, this 21st day of

May 1996.

Paul L. Joffe,

Acting, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for

Import Administration, Alternate Chairman,

Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Attest: John J. Da Ponte, Jr., Executive

Secretary.
