Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Docket 3–2009]
Foreign-Trade Zone 124—Gramercy,
LA; Expansion of Subzone; Marathon
Petroleum Company LLC (Oil
Refinery); Garyville, LA
An application has been submitted to
the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of South Louisiana,
grantee of FTZ 124, requesting authority
to expand the subzone and the scope of
manufacturing activity conducted under
zone procedures within Subzone 124E,
on behalf of Marathon Petroleum
Company LLC in Garyville, Louisiana.
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 February 3, 2009.
Subzone 124E (950 employees,
255,000 barrel per day capacity) was
approved by the Board in 1995 for the
manufacture of fuel products and
certain petrochemical feedstocks (Board
Order 773, 60 FR 49565, 9/26/1995, as
amended by Board Order 1116, 65 FR
52696–52697, 9/30/2000). The subzone
consists of one site (1,370 acres) located
between U.S. 61 and the Mississippi
River in Garyville, St. John the Baptist
Parish, Louisiana, some 35 miles
northwest of New Orleans.
The applicant is now requesting
authority to expand the subzone to
include an additional parcel (319 acres)
adjacent to the subzone. The proposed
expansion would include a new crude
processing ‘‘train’’ as well as
downstream units and would increase
employment at the facility by 285. The
expansion request also includes seven
new hydrocarbon storage tanks within
the existing subzone boundary and a
new ‘‘receipts dock’’ for the admission
of crude oil and other feedstocks into
the refinery. The proposed expansion
would increase the overall crude
distillation capacity allowed under FTZ
procedures to 435,000 barrels per day.
E:\FR\FM\10FEN1.SGM
10FEN1
6570
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 10, 2009 / Notices
No additional feedstocks or products
have been requested.
Zone procedures would exempt
production associated with the
proposed expansion from customs duty
payments on the foreign products used
in 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 nonprivileged 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, Elizabeth Whiteman of the
FTZ Staff is designated 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 April 13, 2009. Rebuttal
comments in response to material
submitted during the foregoing period
may be submitted during the subsequent
15-day period to April 27, 2009.
A copy of the application will be
available for public inspection at the
Office of the Executive Secretary,
Foreign-Trade Zones Board, Room 2111,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington,

orders:
The application to reorganize and

including Section 400.28, subject to the
Board’s standard 2,000–acre activation
limit for the overall general–purpose
zone project, and further subject to a
sunset provision that would terminate
authority on January 31, 2014, for Sites
8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 where no activity has
occurred under FTZ procedures before
that date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 11, 2006, the ITC published
its final determination that an industry
in the United States was not materially
injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of imports of diamond
sawblades from the PRC and Korea.
Final Determination, 71 FR 39128. The
petitioners1 in the antidumping duty
investigation instituted an action
challenging the ITC’s final
determination. On February 6, 2008, the
CIT issued Diamond Sawblades Mfrs.
Coalition v. United States, No. 06–247,
Slip Op. 2008–18 (CIT February 6,
2008), which remanded the
determination to the ITC for
reconsideration. Upon remand, the ITC
changed its determination and found
that a U.S. industry is threatened with
material injury by reason of imports of
diamond sawblades from the PRC and
Korea. See ITC Pub. 4007 (May 2008),
