Louisiana
Sasol Chemicals (USA), LLC (Sasol)
submitted a notification of proposed
production activity to the FTZ Board for
its sites within Subzone 87E in Westlake
and Sulphur, Louisiana. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on March 17, 2016.
Sasol is requesting FTZ authority for
the assembly and installation of an
ethylene distillation/rectification plant
and ethane cracker/reaction unit(s).
Sasol is also requesting to produce
polyethylene from foreign-sourced
ethane once the construction is
completed. Pursuant to 15 CFR
400.14(b), FTZ activity would be limited
to the specific foreign-status materials/
components and specific finished
products described in the submitted
notification (as described below) and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could allow Sasol to choose the duty
rates during customs entry procedures
that apply to the ethylene distillation/
rectification plant and ethane cracker/
reaction unit(s) (free and 4.2%) and the
finished polyethylene (6.5%) for the
foreign-status inputs noted below.
The components and materials from
abroad for the assembly and installation
of the ethylene distillation/rectification
plant and ethane cracker/reaction unit
include: Ethane; paint; cellular
polyurethane foam insulation; plastic

a Saturday. Department practice dictates that where
a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday,
the appropriate deadline is the next business day.
