It was formally filed on December 14, 1994. Zone procedures would allow APL to defer Customs duty payment on foreign crude oil while it is in the APL facility, allowing Amoco Oil Company to maintain the appropriate zone status of the crude so that the Whiting refinery can use zone procedures as authorized by the FTZ Board. This will give the refinery the same opportunity to use zone procedures for foreign crude delivered from the APL facility as those refineries with subzone status that take direct delivery of foreign crude. 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.
