Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[Order No. 951]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Seaway Pipeline Company 
(Crude Oil Transshipment Terminal), Brazoria County, Texas

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, by an Act of Congress approved June 18, 1934, an Act ``To 
provide for the establishment * * * of foreign-trade zones in ports of 
entry of the United States, to expedite and encourage foreign commerce, 
and for other purposes,'' as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u) (the Act), the 
Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the Board) is authorized to grant to 
qualified corporations the privilege of establishing foreign-trade 
zones in or adjacent to U.S. Customs ports of entry;
    Whereas, the Board's regulations (15 CFR Part 400) provide for the 
establishment of special-purpose subzones when existing zone facilities 
cannot serve the specific use involved;
    Whereas, an application from the Brazos River Harbor Navigation 
District, grantee of FTZ 149, for authority to establish special-
purpose subzone status at the crude oil transshipment terminal of 
Seaway Pipeline Company, in Brazoria County, Texas, was filed by the 
Board on March 19, 1997, and notice inviting public comment was given 
in the Federal Register (FTZ Docket 19-97, 62 FR 15461, 4/1/97); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations are satisfied, and that approval of the 
application is in the public interest;
    Now, Therefore, the Board hereby grants authority for subzone 
status at the crude oil transshipment terminal of Seaway Pipeline 
Company, located in Brazoria County, Texas (Subzone 149D), at the 
location described in the application, and subject to the FTZ Act and 
the Board's regulations, including Sec. 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 23d day of January 1998.
Robert S. LaRussa,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
