PROCLAMATION 3279-ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS INTO THE UNITED STATES [AS AMENDED] Source: Proclamation 3279, 24 F.R. 1781, Mar. 12, 1959, as amended by the following:

Proc. 3290, 24 F.R. 3527, May 2, 1959; Proc. 3328, 24 F.R. 10133, Dec. 16, 1959; Proc. 3386, 25 F.R. 13945, Dec. 30, 1960; Proc. 3389, 26 F.R. 507, Jan. 20, 1961; Proc. 3509, 27 F.R. 11985, Dec. 5, 1962; Proc. 3531, 28 F.R. 4077, Apr. 25, 1963; Proc. 3541, 28 F.R. 5931, June 13, 1963; Proc. 3693, 30 F.R. 15459, Dec. 16, 1965. WHEREAS, pursuant to section 2 of the act of July 1, 1954, as amended (72 Stat. 678, 19 U.S.C. 1352a), the Director of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization has made an appropriate investigation to determine the effects on the national security of imports of crude oil and crude oil derivatives and products and, having considered the matters required by him to be considered by the said act of July 1, 1954, as amended, has advised me of his opinion "that crude oil and the principal crude oil derivatives and products are being imported in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security"; and

WHEREAS, having considered the matters required by me to be considered by the said act of July 1, 1954, as amended, I agree with the said advice; and

WHEREAS I find and declare that adjustments must be made in the imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products, so that such imports will not so threaten to impair the national security; and

WHEREAS I find and declare that within the continental United States there are two areas, one, east of the Rocky Mountains (Districts I-IV), in which there is substantial oil production capacity in excess of actual production, and the other, west of the Rocky Mountains (District V), in which production is declining and in which, due to the absence of any significant inter-area flow of oil, limited imports are necessary to meet demand, and that accordingly, imports into such areas must be treated differently to avoid discouragement of and decrease in domestic oil production, exploration and development to the detriment of the national security; and

WHEREAS I find and declare that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico largely depends upon imported crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products and that any system for the adjustment of imports of such commodities should permit imports into Puerto Rico adequate for the purposes of local consumption, export to foreign areas, and limited shipment of finished products to the continental United States:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 2 of the act of July 1, 1954, as amended, do hereby proclaim as follows:

SECTION 1. (a) In Districts I-IV, in District V, and in Puerto Rico, no crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products may be entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, and no foreign crude oil, unfinished oils, or finshed products may be brought into a foreign trade zone in Districts I-IV or in District V for processing within the zone, except (1) by or for the account of a person to whom a license has been issued by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to an allocation made to such person by the Secretary in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, and such entries, withdrawals, and shipments into foreign trade zones may be made only in accordance with the terms of such license, or (2) as authorized by the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, or (3) as to finished products, by or for the account of a department, establishment, or agency of the United States, which shall not be required to have such a license but which shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this section, or (4) crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products which are transported into the United States by pipeline, rail, or other means of overland transportation from the country where they were produced, which country, in the case of unfinished oils or finished products, is also the country of production of the crude oil from which they were processed or manufactured.

[Paragraph (a) revised by Proc. 3693, 30 F.R. 15459, Dec. 16, 1965]

(b) The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, authorize entries without a license of small quantities of crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products, including samples for testing or analysis, baggage entries, and informal entries.

[Paragraph (b) revised by Proc. 3290, 24 F.R. 3529, May 2, 1959]

(c) In Districts I-IV, District V, and in Puerto Rico, on and after April 1, 1959, no department, establishment, or agency of the United States shall import finished products in excess of the respective allocations made to them by the Secretary of the Interior. Such allocations shall be within the maximum levels of imports established in section 2 of this proclamation.

SEC. 2. (a) (1) In Districts I-IV, for a particular allocation period the maximum level of imports, subject to allocation, of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall be an amount equal to the difference between (i) 12.2 percent of the quantity of crude oil and natural gas liquids which the Secretary estimates will be produced in these districts during the particular allocation period and (ii) the quantity of imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products excepted by clause (4) of paragraph (a) of section 1 which the Secretary estimates will be imported into these districts during that allocation period plus the quantity estimated by the Secretary by which shipments of unfinished oils and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) from Puerto Rico to Districts I-IV during that allocation period will exceed the quantity so shipped during a comparable base period in the year

1965. As used in this subparagraph (1), the term "natural gas liquids" means natural gas products and other hydrocarbons such as isopentane, propane, and butane, or mixtures thereof, recovered from natural gas by means other than refining. Within such maximum level, imports of unfinished oils shall not exceed such percentum of the permissible imports of crude oil and unfinished oils as the Secretary may determine and imports of finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall not exceed the level of imports of such products into these districts during the calendar year 1957.

[Subparagraph (1) revised by Proc. 3693, 30 F.R. 15460, Dec. 16, 1965]

(2) In District I the imports of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel shall not exceed the level of imports of that product into that district during the calendar year 1957. In Districts II-IV the imports of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel shall not exceed the level of imports of that product into those districts during the calendar year 1957. [Subparagraph (2) revised by Proc. 3389, 26 F.R. 507, Jan. 20, 1961]

(b) In District V the maximum level of imports of crude oil and finished products shall be an amount which, together with domestic production and supply and imports excepted by clause (4) of paragraph (a) of section 1 of this proclamation, will approximate total demand in that district as estimated by the Bureau of Mines for periods fixed by the Secretary and, for the purposes of this limitation, imports of unfinished oils shall be considered to be the equivalent of imports of crude oil on the basis of such ratios as the Secretary may establish. Within this maximum level, imports of finished products shall not exceed the level of imports of such products into this district during the calendar year 1957. Imports of unfinished oils as such (without respect to the requirement of equivalence) shall not exceed such per centum of the permissible imports of crude oil as the Secretary may from time to time determine.

[Paragraph (b) revised by Proc. 3328, 24 F.R. 10133, Dec. 16, 1959]

(c) The Secretary, having taken into account the standards prescribed for allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Puerto Rico, any actions taken pursuant to section 4, and shipments from Puerto Rico into Districts I-IV, shall establish for each allocation period a maximum level of imports into Puerto Rico of crude oil and unfinished oils which, in his judgment, is consonant with the objectives of this proclamation. The maximum level of imports of finished products into Puerto Rico for a particular allocation period shall be approximately the level of such imports during all or part of the calendar year 1958 as determined by the Secretary to be consonant with the purposes of this proclamation or such higher level as the Secretary may determine is required to meet a demand in Puerto Rico for finished products that would not otherwise be met.

[Paragraph (c) as redesignated by Proc. 3509, 27 F.R. 11986, Dec. 5, 1962, and revised by Proc. 3693, 30 F.R. 15460, Dec. 16, 1965]

(d) The Secretary of the Interior shall keep under review the imports into District I, Districts II-IV, and District V of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel and the Secretary may make, notwithstanding the levels prescribed in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section and on a monthly basis if required, such adjustments in the maximum
