SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

In its continuing efforts to achieve more efficient use of its

personnel, facilities, and resources, to provide better services to

carriers, importers, and the public in general, Customs is changing the

structure of its organization both in the field and at Headquarters.

The current organizational structure is the result of

reorganizations of the Customs Service by the President's

Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1965 and Reorganization Plan No. 2 of

1973; Headquarters reorganizations of 1979 and 1990; and a Regional

consolidation in 1982.

The present reorganization is prompted by a number of changes

within Customs and its operating environment: the tremendous growth in

our workload; the size of the organization; the growth in

administrative and overhead positions; changes in technology; new

requirements placed on the agency; changes in trade and travel

patterns; and unnecessary layers and barriers in the organization that

have grown over time. Creating an organizational structure that

addresses these current problems facilitates a move to process-oriented

management, which allows adaptation to an environment of continuous

change.

In the Fall of 1993, Customs began a study of its organizational

structure. During the study, comments and suggestions were received

from Customs Headquarters and field offices, the Treasury Department,

the National Treasury Employees Union, consultants, trade

organizations, and other government agencies. At the completion of the

study in the Spring of 1994, a report entitled ``People, Processes, &

Partnerships: A Report on the Customs Service for the 21st Century''

was issued which recommended that Customs reduce its management layers

in the field and reorganize its Headquarters functions. As a result of

the study, Customs has determined to reorganize from the ground up,

with the ports of entry serving as the foundation.

Districts and regions will, for the most part, be eliminated. They

will still exist as geographical descriptions for limited purposes such

as for broker permits and certain cartage and lighterage purposes. The

ports of entry now will be empowered with most of the functions and

authority that have been held in the district and regional offices.

Some ports will be designated as service ports, and will have a full

range of cargo processing functions, including inspection, entry,

collection, and verification. Headquarters will also be reorganized.

The full reorganization will be effective at 11:59 p.m., EST on

September 30, 1995.

Customs is also creating twenty Customs Management Centers (CMCs),

which will report to the Assistant Commissioner of Field Operations at

Customs Headquarters. While these CMCs will provide oversight of the

core business processes at the ports of entry within their respective

geographic areas, they will not play a substantive role in the trade

community's interaction with Customs. They will not be a formal level

of appeal for external matters; their most important function will be

to ensure that Customs delivers high quality uniform service at the

ports.

Five Strategic Trade Centers (STCs), each with a defined area of

responsibility, are also created in the reorganization to enhance

Customs capacity to address major trade issues, such as textile

transshipments, valuation, antidumping, and the enforcement of

intellectual property rights.

Because the CMCs and STCs will not have direct contact with the

public, Customs is not including any reference to these organizational

entities in the regulations.

The current regulations contain a significant number of references

(over 2,000) to organizational entities which will no longer exist or

which will have a different functional context on October 1, 1995.

Accordingly, regulatory references to ``district directors'',

``regional commissioners'', etc., are replaced with ``port directors'',

``Assistant Commissioner'', etc., to reflect the new field and

Headquarters structure of Customs and where decisional authority will

now lie. The changes set forth in this document are nonsubstantive or

merely procedural in nature.

In a separate technical correction document published in today's

Federal Register, changes are made throughout Chapter 1 of the Customs

Regulations to reflect the reorganization. This document serves to

revise certain sections contained in 15 Parts of the Customs

Regulations (parts 4, 19, 24, 101, 103, 111, 112, 113, 118, 122, 127,

141, 142, 146, and 174) which are either obsolete or require such

extensive rewriting that they cannot be presented in the column format

adopted in the other technical correction document.

Discussion of Amendments

In Part 4, 13 footnotes (footnotes 2, 21, 29, 63, 64, 66, 68, 69,

73, 90, 93, 94, and 100) are removed which reference the field term

``collector'' of Customs, an obsolete position, and applicable

statutory text is added where appropriate to Secs. 4.1(c)(2), 4.9(c),

4.31(a), and 4.61(b)(6) and (23). Also, Sec. 4.14(c) is revised to

remove references to regional field positions, and Sec. 4.24(f) is

revised to replace references to Regional Commissioners with references

to the Director of the service port (a new organizational entity,

defined at Sec. 101.1) located nearest to the port of entry.

In Part 19, a parenthetical reference to a definition of

``district'' found at Sec. 112.1 is added to Sec. 19.44(g).

In Part 24, a parenthetical reference to a definition of

``district'' found at Sec. 111.1 is added to Sec. 24.1(a)(3)(i), and

the third sentences of paragraph (a) and subparagraph (c)(1) of

Sec. 24.4 are removed because there is no longer a necessity for

importers to identify different ports in the application to defer

payment of estimated import taxes on alcoholic beverages within

districts, since districts are no longer part of Customs organization.

Also, a similar requirement for district directors to notify other

ports in his district is

[[Page 50009]]

removed from Sec. 24.4(d)(1) for the same reason.

In Part 101, Sec. 101.1 is amended by removing the definitions of

the terms ``area'', ``Customs district'' and ``Customs region'', adding

a definition for the term ``service port'', and revising the second,

and third and fourth parenthetical sentences of the definition of

``Port and port of entry'', which concerns the Virgin Islands. The

section heading and headings and text to Sec. 101.3 paragraphs (a) and

(b) are revised, the lists of Customs ports at Sec. 101.3(b) and

Customs stations at Sec. 101.4(c) are rearranged to list the Customs

ports alphabetically by State, rather than by regions, and in

Sec. 101.3 a new list of Customs service ports similarly arranged by

State is added. Lastly, Sec. 101.6(e) is amended by removing the

parenthetical words ``and are approved by the Commissioner of

Customs'', and by removing the last sentence, to reflect that port

directors now set the hours for Customs services performed outside

their port's offices.

In Part 103, Sec. 103.1 is revised concerning the location of

public reading rooms by removing the references to Customs Regions.

In Part 111, definitions of ``district'', ``district director'' and

``region'' are added at Sec. 111.1 to enable the current statutory

broker licensing and permitting schemes to operate. Section 111.13(f),

concerning broker examination notification, Sec. 111.19(d), concerning

review of district directors' recommendations to grant/deny a waiver by

the Regional Commissioner, and Sec. 111.23(e)(3), concerning

notification between regions, are removed as unnecessary or no longer

applicable, as is the provision in Sec. 111.45(c), concerning

forwarding a copy of the revocation of broker's license to the district

director.

In Part 112, a definition of ``district'' is added at Sec. 112.1 to

reflect that for certain purposes regarding carriage of merchandise the

``district'' concept is still applicable. A parenthetical reference to

the definition of ``district'' at Sec. 112.1 is added to Sec. 112.2(b).

In Part 113, Sec. 113.37 is amended at paragraph (a) to remove a

sentence concerning the Department distribution of a Circular to

district directors, and at paragraph (g)(2) to revise the text

regarding the filing of corporate surety power of attorney documents at

district offices. Section 113.38 is amended to remove paragraph (c)(2)

because with the removal of regional commissioners this provision no

longer has application, and the subparagraphs thereafter ((c)(3)-(7))

are redesignated ((c)(2)-(6)). In Sec. 113.39(a), the last sentence of

the introductory text is deleted for the same reason.

In Part 118, a parenthetical reference to the definition of

``district'' at Sec. 112.1 is added to Sec. 118.4(g) and (l).

In Part 122, Sec. 122.14(e) is amended by removing the second

sentence, which concerns appeals to the Commissioner of denials of

landing rights, and Sec. 122.31(b) is amended by removing the third and

fourth sentences, which concern the filing of scheduled airline

schedules with Regional Commissioners and a 30-day notice requirement;

none of these provisions are necessary under the reorganized field

structure.

In Part 127, Sec. 127.22 is revised to remove references to

district headquarters ports.

In Part 141, the provisions of Sec. 141.45 are revised concerning

the filing of certified copies of power of attorney documents.

In Part 142, Secs. 142.13 and 142.25 are similarly amended to move

to new subparagraph (a)(4) what is currently set forth in paragraph

(b). This change gives port directors the authority to require that

entry summary documentation be filed and that estimated duties, if any,

be deposited at the time of entry before the merchandise is released,

if the importer is substantially or habitually delinquent in payment of

Customs bills.

In Part 146, a parenthetical reference to the definition of

``district'' at Sec. 112.1 is added to Secs. 146.4(h) and 146.40(b).

In Part 174, Sec. 174.1 is amended by removing paragraph (a), which

pertains to district directors.

Comments

Before adopting these interim regulations as final regulations,

consideration will be given to any written comments timely submitted to

Customs. Comments submitted will be available for public inspection in

accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), Sec. 1.4

of the Treasury Department Regulations (31 CFR 1.4), and Sec. 103.11(b)

of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 103.11(b), on regular business days

between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Regulations Branch,

U.S. Customs Service, 1099 14th Street, NW--Suite 4000, Washington,

D.C.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date Requirements, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 (a)(2) and (b)(B), public notice is

inapplicable to these interim regulations because they concern matters

relating to agency management and personnel. Further, inasmuch as these

amendments merely advise the public of Customs new field and

Headquarters organization which will be in effect October 1, 1995 (the

beginning of the fiscal year), good cause exists for dispensing with

notice and public procedure thereon as unnecessary. For the same

reasons, it is determined that good cause exists under the provisions

of 5 U.S.C. 553(d) (2) and (3) for dispensing with the requirement for

a delayed effective date. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is

required for interim regulations, the provisions of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This amendment

does not meet the criteria for a ``significant regulatory action'' as

specified in E.O. 12866.

Service port. The term ``service port'' refers to a Customs

location having a full range of cargo processing functions, including

inspections, entry, collections, and verification. Port and port of

entry. * * * The terms ``port'' and ``port of entry'' incorporate the

geographical area under the jurisdiction of a port director. (The

Customs ports in the Virgin Islands, although under the jurisdiction of

the Secretary of the Treasury, have their own Customs laws (48 U.S.C.

1406(i)). These ports, therefore, are outside the Customs territory of

the United States and the ports thereof are not ``ports of entry''

within the meaning of these regulations).

Sec. 101.3 Customs service ports and ports of entry.

(a) Designation of Customs field organization. The Deputy Assistant

authority delegated by the Secretary of the Treasury, is authorized to

establish, rearrange or consolidate, and to discontinue Customs ports

of entry as the needs of the Customs Service may require.

(b) List of Ports of Entry and Service Ports. The following is a

list of Customs Ports of Entry and Service Ports. Many of the ports

listed were created by the President's message of March 3, 1913,

concerning a reorganization of the Customs Service pursuant to the Act

of August 24, 1912 (37 Stat. 434; 19 U.S.C. 1). Subsequent orders of

the President or of the Secretary of the Treasury which affected these

ports, or which created (or subsequently affected) additional ports,

are cited following the name of the ports.
