Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) 87--Lake Charles, Louisiana; 
Notification of Proposed Production Activity; Sasol Chemicals (USA), 
LLC, Subzone 87E, (Assembly of Ethylene Distillation/Rectification 
Plant and Ethane Cracker/Reaction Unit; Production of Polyethylene) 
Westlake and Sulphur, 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.
