Fuel products include gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, distillates, residual fuels, naphthas, intermediate gasoline feedstocks, and lubricating base oils. Petrochemical feedstocks and refinery by-products that are or could be produced at the refinery include benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylene, propylene, cumene, carbon black oil, ethane, propane, butane, petroleum coke, paraffin waxes, petroleum extracts, asphalt and sulfur. Zone procedures would exempt the refinery from Customs duty payments on the foreign products used in its exports. 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.
