It was formally filed on June 4, 1996. The refinery, terminal and pipelines operate as an integrated refinery complex. The refinery complex is used to produce fuels and petrochemical feedstocks.
Fuels produced include gasoline, jet fuel, distillates, diesel fuel, fuel oil and kerosene.
Petrochemical feedstocks and refinery by-products include propane, propylene, sulfur and asphalt. Zone procedures would exempt the operations involved from Customs duty payments on the foreign products used in its exports. Foreign merchandise would also be exempt from state and local ad valorem taxes. 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 has been designated examiner to investigate the application and report to the Board.
