    This notice is to inform the public that the Export-Import Bank of
the United States has received an application to finance the export of
approximately $211.5 million in U.S. equipment and services to a
petrochemicals facility in Qatar. The U.S. exports will enable the
petrochemicals facility to produce approximately 1.3 million metric
tons of ethylene as an intermediate product (of which 600,000 metric
tons will be off-taken by a joint venture partner for its own use),
350,000 metric tons of high-density polyethylene per year and
approximately 345,000 metric tons of normal alpha olefins per year.
    Available information indicates the following: the ethylene to be
off-taken by a joint venture partner will be consumed in Qatar; the
high-density polyethylene will be consumed in Asia, Europe, Africa and
the Middle East; and the normal alpha olefins will be consumed in Asia,
Europe, the United States and the Middle East. Initial production is
expected to commence in the latter part of 2008. Interested parties may
submit comments on this transaction by e-mail to
