Foreign–Trade Zone 99 – Wilmington,
Delaware, Expansion of Manufacturing
Authority—Subzone 99E, The Premcor
Refining Group Inc., Delaware City,
Delaware
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign–Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Delaware Economic
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:36 Jun 13, 2006
Jkt 208001
Development Office, grantee of FTZ 99,
requesting authority on behalf of The
Premcor Refining Group Inc. (Premcor),
to expand the scope of manufacturing
activity conducted under zone
procedures within Subzone 99E at the
Premcor oil refinery complex in
Delaware City, Delaware. 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 May 31, 2006.
Subzone 99E (152,000 BPD capacity
2,450 employees) was approved by the
Board in 1996 for the manufacture of
fuel products and certain petrochemical
feedstocks and refinery by–products
(Board Order 831, 61 FR 33490, 6/27/96,
as amended by Board Order 1116, 65 FR
52696, 8/30/00).
The refinery complex (1,800 acres)
consists of a main refinery/
petrochemical plant, storage tanks and a
marine terminal, located at 2000
Wrangle Hill Road, Delaware City in
Newcastle County, Delaware, some 35
miles south of Philadelphia.
The expansion request involves an
expansion of the crude throughput at
the refinery due to increased
efficiencies, improvements in
equipment reliability and longer cycles
between turnarounds to increase the
overall crude distillation capacity of the
refinery to 180,000 BPD. No additional
feedstocks or products have been
requested.
Zone procedures would exempt the
increased production from customs duty
payments on the foreign products used
in its exports. On domestic sales, the
company would be able to choose the
customs duty rates for certain
petrochemical feedstocks (duty–free) by
admitting foreign crude oil in non–
privileged foreign status. The
application indicates that the savings
from zone procedures help improve the
refinery’s international competitiveness.
In accordance with the Board’s
regulations, a member of the FTZ staff
has been appointed 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 August 14, 2006.
Rebuttal comments in response to
material submitted during the foregoing
period may be submitted during the
subsequent 15-day period to August 28,
2006.
