Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1298]


Grant of Authority for Subzone Status; Ergon St. James, Inc. (Oil 
Terminal), St. James, LA

    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, the Foreign-Trade Zones Act provides 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,'' and authorizes the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 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, and when the activity results 
in a significant public benefit and is in the public interest;
    Whereas, the Port of South Louisiana Commission, grantee of 
Foreign-Trade Zone 124, has made application to the Board for authority 
to establish special-purpose subzone status at the oil terminal of 
Ergon St. James, Inc., located in St. James, Louisiana (FTZ Docket 61-
2002, filed 12/17/02);
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (67 FR 79047, 12/27/02); and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
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 oil terminal of Ergon St. James, Inc., located in St. 
James, Louisiana (Subzone 124J), at the location described in the 
application, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations, 
including section 400.28.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of August, 2003.
Jeffrey May,
Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, 
Alternate Chairman, Foreign-Trade Zones Board.
