Foreign-Trade Zone 115, Beaumont, TX Subzone 115B, Mobil Oil 
Corporation (Crude Oil Refinery Complex); Request for Minor 
Modification of Restriction

    A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the 
Board) by the Foreign Trade Zone of Southeast Texas, Inc., grantee of 
FTZ 115, pursuant to Sec. 400.27(f) of the Board's regulations, for a 
minor modification of the restrictions in FTZ Board Order 780 
authorizing Subzone 115B at the crude oil refinery complex of Mobil Oil 
Corporation (Mobil) in the Beaumont, Texas, area. The request was 
formally filed on December 14, 1995.
    The FTZ Board approved subzone status for the Mobil refinery in 
1995 (Subzone 115B, Board Order 780, 60 FR 54471, 10/24/95). The 
approval was subject to certain standard restrictions.
    The company is now requesting that restriction #2, which allows the 
election of non-privileged foreign (NPF) status (19 CFR 146.42) on 
refinery inputs covered under HTSUS Subheadings # 2709.00.1000 - # 
2710.00.1050 and # 2710.00.2500, be extended to cover HTSUS Subheading 
#2710.00.4510--natural gas condensate.
    The request indicates that the HTSUS number for this input was 
omitted from the list of refinery inputs in the original subzone 
application and that the product functions like crude oil with respect 
to the refining process.
    Public comment on the proposal 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 February 26, 1996.
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be 
available for public inspection at the following location: Office of 
the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of 
Commerce, Room 3716, 14th & Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230.

    Dated: January 19, 1996.
John J. Da Ponte, Jr.,
Executive Secretary.
