Foreign-Trade Zone 116--Port Arthur, Texas; Expansion of Subzone 
116B; Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Inc.; Port Arthur and 
Jefferson County, Texas

    An application has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones (FTZ) 
Board by the Foreign-Trade Zone of Southeast Texas, Inc., grantee of 
FTZ 116, requesting an expansion of Subzone 116B on behalf of Total 
Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Inc. 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 FTZ Board (15 CFR part 
400). It was formally docketed on November 25, 2014.
    Subzone 116B was approved on September 18, 1995 (Board Order 772, 
60 FR 49564, 9/26/95). The subzone (1,457 acres) currently consists of 
four sites located in Port Arthur and Jefferson County: Site 1 (1,244 
acres)--main refinery complex located along the Neches River at State 
Farm to Market Highway 366 and 32nd St., Port Arthur; Site 2 (19 
acres)--West Port Arthur Tank Farm located at Roosevelt and 53rd 
Streets, Port Arthur; Site 3 (194 acres)--refinery expansion site, 
located adjacent to the refinery at State Farm to Market Hwy 366, Port 
Arthur; and, Site 4--Sun Marine Terminal-Nederland tank storage 
facility (leased storage) located along the Neches River in Nederland.
    The current request would add a pipeline that originates from the 
subzone's leased storage facility at Site 4 to the main refinery 
located at Site 1, as described in the application. No additional 
authorization for production activity has been requested at this time.
    In accordance with the FTZ Board's regulations, Camille Evans of

recommendations to the FTZ Board.
