SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 3, 1997, Customs published in the Federal Register (62

FR 46433) as T.D. 97-75 a final rule document setting forth amendments

to

[[Page 49150]]

the Customs Regulations to clarify and update the legal requirements

and procedures that apply for purposes of obtaining duty-free treatment

on articles imported from insular possessions of the United States

other than Puerto Rico. That final rule document provided for an

October 3, 1997, effective date for the regulatory amendments contained

therein.

The amendments in T.D. 97-75 included an update of the list of

information collection approvals under the Paperwork Reduction Act

contained in Sec. 178.2 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 178.2).

Although the discussion of the Paperwork Reduction Act in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION portion of T.D. 97-75 correctly set forth the

control number assigned by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as

1515-0200, the amendment to Sec. 178.2 incorrectly listed the OMB

control number as 1515-0055. This document corrects this error.

Correction to the Final Regulations

On page 46443, in the table under Sec. 178.2, in the column headed

``OMB control number'', the entry ``1515-0055'' is corrected to read

``1515-0200''.

Dated: September 11, 1997.
