Background

The technical amendments set forth in this document involve Parts

4, 10, 11, 12, 18, 24, 103, 112, 122, 127, 133, 141, 143, 148, 151,

152, 159, 171, 177 and 191 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR Parts 4,

10, 11, 12, 18, 24, 103, 112, 122, 127, 133, 141, 143, 148, 151, 152,

159, 171, 177 and 191) and are summarized below.

Discussion of Changes

Part 4

1. In the table set forth under Sec. 4.20(c), in the column headed

``Light money'', the second figure (``.05'') is corrected to read

``.50''.

2. At the end of Sec. 4.80(a)(3), the reference to ``46 CFR subpart

67.03'' is corrected to read ``46 CFR 67.3''.

Part 10

1. In the third sentence of Sec. 10.1(i), the reference to

``Sec. 142.11(b)'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 141.11(b)''.

2. In the last sentence of Sec. 10.7(d), the reference to

``Sec. 10.6(c)'' is corrected to reflect that present Sec. 10.6 (which

corresponds in substance to former Sec. 10.6(c)) is not subdivided.

3. In the second sentence of Sec. 10.11(b), the reference to ``item

807.00'' is replaced by the appropriate Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

the United States (HTSUS) reference which appears correctly in the

first sentence.

4. In Sec. 10.41b, the number ``12'' appearing in the first

sentence of the introductory text of paragraph (b) and

[[Page 51767]]

the number ``16'' appearing in the text of paragraph (b)(7) are

removed, because these numbers have no relevance in these texts. Also

in Sec. 10.41b, the reference in the introductory text of paragraph

(d)(1) to ``paragraph (c)(2)'' is corrected to read ``paragraph

(d)(2)''.

5. In Sec. 10.46, the words ``upon compliance with Secs. 10.43-

10.45, or'' are removed, because Secs. 10.44 and 10.45 do not exist and

Sec. 10.43 is not relevant in this context.

6. In the second sentence of Sec. 10.63, the cross-reference to

Sec. 23.4 is removed, because no such section exists.

7. In Sec. 10.67(c), the words ``and the merchandise was

identified, registered, and exported in accordance with the regulations

set forth in Sec. 10.8 (e), (g), (h), and (i) governing the exportation

of articles sent abroad for repairs'' are removed. This change is

necessary because Sec. 10.8 was revised (among other things, to do away

with the pre-exportation registration procedure) and, as so revised, no

longer contains paragraphs (e), (g), (h), and (i)--see T.D. 94-47,

published in the Federal Register on May 17, 1994 (59 FR 25563).

8. In Sec. 10.75, the word ``That'' at the beginning of the last

sentence is corrected to read ``The'', for purely grammatical reasons.

9. In Sec. 10.90(a), the reference to ``subheading 8524.90.20'' is

corrected to read ``subheading 8524.99.20''.

10. In the first sentence of Sec. 10.100, the reference to

``Sec. 141.83(c)(8)'' is corrected to read ``141.83(d)(8)''.

11. In the first sentence of Sec. 10.151, the reference

``Sec. 101.1(o)'' is changed to read ``Sec. 101.1'' and the word ``or''

is inserted after ``declaration''. The first change is necessary

because the definition paragraphs in Sec. 101.1 no longer have letter

designations, and the second change is for purely grammatical reasons.

12. In the first and fifth sentences of Sec. 10.180(a), the

references to HTSUS subheadings ``0201.20.20, 0201.30.20, 0202.20.20,

0202.30.20'' are changed to reflect the current HTSUS subheading

numbers that pertain to the products at issue.

Part 11

In the first sentence of Sec. 11.9(b), the words ``manufacturer or

purchaser of'' are corrected to read ``manufacturer or purchaser or'',

to properly reflect the intent and context of the immediately following

words in the regulatory text (``a duly registered trade name'', which

under the regulation may be used in place of the actual name of the

manufacturer or purchaser).

Part 12

1. In the first sentence of Sec. 12.29(d), the reference to

``Chapter 4, Additional U.S. Note 2'' is corrected to read ``Chapter 4,

Additional U.S. Note 26''.

2. In Sec. 12.33(e), ``Department of Health, Education, and

Welfare'' is corrected to read ``Department of Health and Human

Services''.

Part 18

In the first sentence of Sec. 18.6(d), the reference to

``Sec. 114.22(c)(3)'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 114.22(d)''.

Part 24

Section 612(a) of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (the URAA,

Public Law 103-465, 108 Stat. 4809) amended the merchandise processing

fee provisions of the Customs user fee statute (codified at 19 U.S.C.

58c), inter alia, by (1) increasing the basic ad valorem rate for

formal entries and releases to ``0.21'' percent, (2) increasing to

``$6'' the fee for each informal entry or release that is manual and

not prepared by Customs personnel, (3) increasing to ``$9'' the fee for

each informal entry or release (whether automated or manual) that is

prepared by Customs personnel, and (4) increasing the formal entry or

release maximum and minimum fees to ``$485'' and ``$25'' respectively.

Accordingly, Sec. 24.23(b)(1)(i) (A) and (B) and (b)(2)(i) (B) and (C)

are modified to reflect the current statutory fee provisions which

Customs has been following since January 1, 1995, when the changes made

by section 612(a) of the URAA took effect.

Part 103

In Sec. 103.11(b)(2)(xii), the reference to ``Sec. 114.22(a) and

(b)'' is changed to read ``Sec. 114.22(a)'', because paragraph (b) is

in reserved status and thus contains no regulatory text.

Part 112

In Sec. 112.26, the reference to ``Sec. 113.26'' is corrected to

read ``Sec. 113.27''.

Part 122

In Sec. 122.152, the last sentence is removed because the ``subpart

P'' referred to therein is reserved and thus contains no regulatory

text.

Part 127

In the second sentence of Sec. 127.33, the reference to

``Subchapter XV'' is corrected to read ``Subchapter IV''.

Part 133

1. At the end of Sec. 133.21(d), the reference within the

parentheses to ``Sec. 133.24'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 133.23a''.

2. In Sec. 133.23(b)(3), the reference within parentheses to

``Sec. 133.24'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 133.23a''.

Part 141

1. In the authority citations for Part 141, the specific authority

citation for subpart B is removed, because the statutory provision

referenced therein was repealed in 1983 by section 201(c) of Public Law

97-446.

2. At the end of Sec. 141.1(f), the reference within the

parentheses to ``part 20'' is corrected to read ``part 27''.

3. In Sec. 141.4, in the introductory text of paragraph (c), the

reference to ``General Note 13(e)'' is corrected to read ``General Note

16(e)''.

4. In the first sentence of Sec. 141.11(b), the reference to

``subpart B of this chapter'' is corrected to read ``subpart B of part

142 of this chapter''.

5. In Sec. 141.61, in paragraph (a)(1), the parenthetical reference

at the end of the second sentence to ``Sec. 101.1(k)'' is corrected to

read ``Sec. 101.1 of this chapter'', because the definition paragraphs

in Sec. 101.1 no longer have letter designations. Also in Sec. 141.61,

in paragraph (e)(3), the reference to ``General Statistical Note

1(b)(V)'' is corrected to read ``General Statistical Note 1(b)(ii)''.

6. At the end of Sec. 141.69(a), the reference to

``Sec. 141.68(f)'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 141.68(g)''.

7. In Sec. 141.83, paragraph (d)(1) is removed, because it relates

to the special Customs invoice which, along with the text of paragraph

(a), has been eliminated.

8. In Sec. 141.89(a), in the product listings for machine tools,

the reference in item (4) to subheading ``8457.10.0010 through

8457.10.0050'' is corrected to read ``8457.10.00''.

9. In Sec. 141.112(f), the reference to ``Sec. 158.10'' is

corrected to read ``158.44''.

Part 143

In Sec. 143.1(b), the reference to ``Sec. 101.1(l)'' is corrected

to read ``Sec. 101.1'', because the definition paragraphs in Sec. 101.1

no longer have letter designations.

Part 148

In Sec. 148.41, the reference to subheading ``9804.00.20'' is

corrected to read ``9804.00.40''.

Part 151

In Sec. 151.4, paragraph (b)(2) (which refers to sampling of

benzenoid chemicals) is removed, because there are no longer any

special sampling procedures applicable to benzenoid

[[Page 51768]]

chemicals. Subpart D of part 152 of the Customs Regulations (which

included the Sec. 152.35 referred to in this paragraph (b)(2)) was

removed by T.D. 87-89 (52 FR 24444) which made a number of changes to

the Customs Regulations to reflect the replacement of the old value law

by the new value law under the Trade Agreements Act of 1979.

Part 152

1. In the authority citations for part 152, the specific authority

citation for subpart D is removed and the specific authority citation

for Secs. 152.13 and 152.24 is corrected to refer only to Sec. 152.13,

because subpart D and Sec. 152.24 are in reserved status and thus

contain no regulatory text.

2. In Sec. 152.102, the reference in paragraph (j)(2) to

``Sec. 152.103(j)(2)(iv)'' is corrected to read

``Sec. 152.103(j)(2)(ii)''. Also in Sec. 152.102, the reference in

paragraph (k) to ``Sec. 151.105(c)(3)'' is corrected to read

``Sec. 152.105(c)(3)''.

Part 159

1. In the first sentence of Sec. 159.33, the reference to ``31

U.S.C. 372(a)'' is corrected to read ``31 U.S.C. 5151(b)''.

2. In the first sentence of Sec. 159.35, the reference to ``31

U.S.C. 372(c)(2)'' is corrected to read ``31 U.S.C. 5151(e)''.

3. At the beginning of the first sentence of Sec. 159.43, the word

``Additional'' is removed because it does not appear in the title of

the referenced U.S. Note.

Part 171

In appendix C to part 171, the reference to ``19 CFR 141.133'' at

the end of paragraph E.2. of section II is corrected to read ``19 CFR

141.33''.

Part 177

In Sec. 177.2(b)(2)(iii), the reference in the first sentence to

``subparts C and D of part 152'' is corrected to read ``subpart C of

part 152'', because subpart D of part 152 is reserved and thus contains

no regulatory text.

Part 191

1. At the end of Sec. 191.91, the reference within the parentheses

to ``Sec. 191.4(a)(10)'' is corrected to read ``Sec. 191.4(a)(12)''.

2. At the end of Sec. 191.131(a), the reference within the

parentheses to ``Sec. 191.4(a)(11)'' is corrected to read

``Sec. 191.4(a)(13)''.

3. In Sec. 191.161, the words ``fourth provision'' are corrected to

read ``fourth proviso'' and at the end the reference within the

parentheses to ``Sec. 191.4(a)(12)'' is corrected to read

``Sec. 191.4(a)(14)''.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective

Date Requirements, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive

Order 12866

Because the amendments only involve technical corrections to

conform the affected texts to existing law or other regulatory

provisions, notice and public procedure in this case are inapplicable

and unnecessary pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), and, pursuant to 5

U.S.C. 553(d)(3), a delayed effective date is not required. Since this

document is not subject to the aforesaid requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553,

it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Furthermore, these amendments do not meet the

criteria for a ``significant regulatory action'' as specified in E.O.

12866.

Drafting Information: The principal author of this document was

Francis W. Foote, Regulations Branch, U.S. Customs Service. However,
