Item H Item I Item J Item K Check box G.3 if applicant requires feedstocks which exceed both (a) the quantity of feedstock supplies committed to the applicant by contract, and (b) the quantity of feedstock supplies processed in 1972. Self-explanatory. For each section, separately list information for each feedstock processed by the plant. By "% feedstock conversion (by weight)" is meant the weight of the feedstock contained in the final petrochemical, expressed as a percentage of the initial weight of the feedstock. Design Capacity means the maximum throughput for which the plant was designed. Maximum Capacity means the maximum throughput which could be achieved with the plant in its current condition assuming no restrictions on supplies of feedstocks. Capacity with Current Supply means the maximum throughput which could be achieved with the plant in its current condition and with currently anticipated supplies of feedstocks. 1972 Actual means the throughput actually achieved during calendar year 1972. Self-explanatory. In K.1, identify the feedstock which is required. Feedstocks which should be reported are In K.2, identify the time period to which the request applies, e.g., "April 1 - June 30, 1974" or "Calendar Year 1974". In all parts of K.3, quantities must relate to the time period specified in K.2. In K.3.a., state the quantity of the feedstock required by contract to be delivered to the In K.3.b., identify that portion of the quantity stated in K.3.a which is expected to be actually delivered. In K.3.c., state the quantity of the feedstock actually processed in 1972, during the time In K.3.d., state the quantity of the feedstock committed to be delivered to the applicant by contract (see K.3.a) and otherwise. In K.3.e., identify that portion of the quantity stated in K.3.d which is expected to be actually delivered. In K.3.f., state the total quantity desired of the feedstock. Item K.3.g. relates to the quantity required in addition to that which is expected to be available under current arrangements (line K.3.f minus K.3.e). Since the request may relate to more than one "purpose" (see Item G) and purposes are prioritized, it is to the applicant's advantage to correctly state the quantities applicable to each purpose, in Items K.3.g. (1) - (4). Item L Item M Item N In K.3.g.(1), identify the quantity sought to compensate for the inability of applicant's suppliers to meet contractual commitments. This quantity may not exceed the difference between lines K.3.a and K.3.b. In K.3.g.(2), identify the quantity sought to increase the level of supply to a level equaling the quantity processed in 1972. This quantity may not exceed the result of subtracting line K.3.d from line K.3.c. In K.3.g.(3), identify the quantity sought which is not accounted for on lines K.3.g.(1) and In K.3.g.(4), identify the total quantity sought. This quantity must equal the sum of lines By "incremental capacity" is meant the increase in capacity over "capacity with current supply" (item 1.3) which will result if applicant is able to obtain the sought quantity of the desired feedstock (item L.1) or of alternative feedstocks (item L.2). By "% feedstock conversion (by weight)" is meant the weight of the feedstock contained in the final petrochemical, expressed as a percentage of the initial weight of the feedstock. Under L.1, supply information with respect to the feedstock identified in item K.3.g.(4). Under L.2, supply information with respect to alternate operations if the sought feedstock cannot be made available. Complete this item only if one or more of applicant's suppliers will not be able to meet contractual obligations during the period to which this request applies. Complete this item only if assignment of supplier(s) is being requested. Since the burden of locating supplies rests primarily on the petrochemical producer, FEO expects that the applicant will have already made unsuccessful offers in writing to purchase adequate supplies (at a price equal to 115% of the current ceiling price) from all logical suppliers. If the information supplied in item N does not indicate an adequate effort to locate supplies, FEO may require the applicant to approach additional suppliers, supply additional information, or both, thus delaying the processing of applicant's request. The attached sheets are provided to clarify the above instructions by showing a completed form for a sample case.. SAMPLE CASE Background & Request Petrochemical Producers, Inc. (PPI) processes naphtha at its Centerville, Texas, plant to produce petrochemicals. The PPI plant was originally designed to process 1,000 bbl/day; plant modifications have boosted the capacity to 1,500 bbl/day. In 1972, the plant processed 400,000 bbl. of naphtha. Currently, PPI has contracts with two suppliers: (1) Conglomerated Refiners, Inc., for 200,000 bbl., and (2) Associated Refiners, Inc., for 100,000 bbl. PPI also has a commitment for 50,000 bbl. from Fossil Oil Company. PPI has recently been informed by Conglomerate that due to shortages of crude oil, it can deliver only 175,000 bbl. of naphtha. Further, PPI has determined that increased demands for its petrochemical products make it strongly desirable that the plant process 450,000 bbl. in 1974. PPI thus decided to seek additional naphtha from other suppliers, and offered in writing to buy naphtha at 115% of the current ceiling price from (1) Fossil Oil Company, (2) Amalgamated Oil Company, and (3) Mammoth Oil Company. Mammoth was able to commit 50,000 bbl. to PPI; otherwise PPI's search for additional supplies was unsuccessful. PPI is now applying for: (1) permission to purchase the 50,000 bbl. from Mammoth, and (2) assignment of supplier(s) for 75,000 bbl.* The sample form which follows illustrates the request PPI would submit to the Federal Energy Office. *Since PPI now expects to receive 325,000 bbl. under commitments by contract and otherwise, and wants a total of 450,000 bbl., its requirement for additional feedstocks is 125,000 bbl.
