SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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, 
personnel from other offices participated in its development.
