p.m., Monday through Friday, except 

Federal holidays. An informal docket

Persons interested in being placed on 

a mailing list for future NPRMs should 

contact the FAA’s Office of Rulemaking 

(202) 267–9677, to request a copy of 

Advisory Circular No. 11–2A, Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking Distribution 

System, which describes the application 

procedure. 

The Proposal 

This action proposes to amend Title 

14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E 

airspace extending upward from 700 

feet above the surface at West Memphis, 

AR, to accommodate the separation of 

existing Class E airspace surrounding 

West Memphis Municipal Airport from 

the Class E airspace of Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN. 

The amendment for the existing Class E 

airspace surrounding Memphis 

International Airport, Memphis, TN, 

would be simultaneously coordinated 

with this action. Controlled airspace is 

needed for the safety and management 

of IFR operations at the airport. 

Class E airspace areas are published 

in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order 

7400.9V, dated August 9, 2011 and 

effective September 15, 2011, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designation 

listed in this document would be 

published subsequently in the Order. 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore, (1) is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this rule, 

when promulgated, will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106 describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it would 

establish controlled airspace at West 

Memphis Municipal Airport, West 

Memphis, AR. 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1E, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures,’’ prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

Inadmissibility of Consumer Products 

and Industrial Equipment 

Noncompliant With Applicable Energy 

Conservation or Labeling Standards 

AGENCIES: U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection, Department of Homeland 

Security; Department of the Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This document proposes 

amendments to the Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations to provide 

that if certain imports do not comply 

with applicable energy conservation or 

labeling standards, CBP will refuse 

admission when so notified by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) or the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 

CBP may, upon a recommendation from 

DOE or FTC, conditionally release the 

goods so that they may be brought into 

compliance. Specifically, CBP will 

refuse admission into the customs 

territory of the United States to 

consumer products and industrial 

equipment deemed noncompliant with 

the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

of 1975 (EPCA) and its implementing 

regulations, and for which CBP has 

received written notice from the DOE or 

the FTC that identifies merchandise as 

noncompliant with applicable EPCA 

requirements. In lieu of immediate 

refusal of admission, and upon written 

or electronic notice by DOE or FTC, CBP 

may conditionally release under bond to 

the importer such noncompliant 

products or equipment for purposes of 

reconditioning, re-labeling, or other 

action so as to bring the subject product 

or equipment into compliance with 

applicable energy conservation and 

labeling admissibility standards. If the 

subject import is not timely brought into 

compliance, CBP, at the direction of 

DOE or FTC, will issue a refusal of 

admission notice to the importer and 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 58 / Monday, March 26, 2012 / Proposed Rules 17365 

demand redelivery of the subject 

products to CBP custody. A failure to 

comply with a demand for redelivery 

will result in the assessment of 

liquidated damages. This proposed 

regulation, if adopted, will implement 

the mandate of the EPCA, as amended, 

to preclude admission into the United 

States of certain consumer products and 

industrial equipment that do not meet 

applicable labeling or energy 

conservation requirements.

Background 

General 

Title III, Part B of the Energy Policy 

and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), 

Public Law 94–163 (42 U.S.C. 6291– 

6309), as amended, established the 

Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products Other Than 

Automobiles, a program covering most 

major household appliances. Similarly, 

Title III, Part C of the EPCA, (42 U.S.C. 

6311–6317) as amended, added by 

Public Law 95–619, Title IV, section 

441(a), established the Energy 

Conservation Program for Certain 

Industrial Equipment, a program 

covering industrial equipment. 

Section 6302(a) of title 42 of the 

United States Code (42 U.S.C. 6302(a)), 

and its implementing regulations, 

prescribe the specific energy 

conservation and labeling standards 

applicable to manufacturers and, in 

some instances, private labelers, 

distributors, and retailers. Sections 6301 

and 6316 of title 42 of the United States 

Code (42 U.S.C. 6301 and 6316) require 

the Secretary of the Treasury to issue 

regulations refusing admission into the 

customs territory of the United States to 

covered products or covered equipment 

offered for importation in violation of 42 

U.S.C. 6302. The statute also provides 

the Secretary with the discretion to 

authorize the importation of covered 

products or covered industrial 

equipment under such terms and 

conditions (including the furnishing of 

a bond) that ensure that the 

merchandise will not violate 42 U.S.C. 

6302. 

Proposed Regulation 

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6301, this 

document proposes to amend part 12 of 

title 19 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (19 CFR Part 12) by adding 

a new § 12.50 which provides that CBP 

will refuse admission into the customs 

territory of the United States to covered 

imports that the Department of Energy 

(DOE) or the Federal Trade Commission 

(FTC) has determined to be in violation 

of 42 U.S.C. 6302, upon receipt of 

written or electronic notice from the 

DOE or FTC, as appropriate. The notice 

will identify a named regulated party as 

being in violation of 42 U.S.C. 6302 and 

will describe the subject product or 

equipment in a manner sufficient to 

enable CBP to identify the articles. 

While refusal of admission will be the 

norm, there may be instances where 

reconditioning, re-labeling, or other 

modification may bring an import into 

compliance with applicable energy 

conservation or labeling admissibility 

standards. Accordingly, this rule 

proposes a procedure to allow CBP to 

conditionally release noncompliant 

imports to the importer under a CBP 

basic importation and entry bond for 

purposes of bringing the merchandise 

into conformity with the applicable 

standards, upon a recommendation by 

the DOE or FTC. In any case involving 

conditional release of a covered import 

under bond, the CBP port director 

always retains the discretion to require 

additional security in any case where he 

believes that acceptance of a continuous 

bond would hamper the enforcement of 

the law. See 19 CFR 113.13(d). An 

initial conditional release period of 30 

days is proposed to be established by 

this rulemaking. 

If the DOE or FTC notifies CBP that 

the subject imports have been brought 

into compliance with applicable energy 

conservation and labeling admissibility 

standards before the conclusion of the 

30-day conditional release period, or 

any authorized extension thereof, CBP 

may release the subject goods into the 

commerce and entry may be completed. 

If attempts at modification fail within 

the 30-day conditional release period, or 

any authorized extension thereof, the 

DOE or FTC will notify CBP of that fact, 

and CBP will issue a notice of refusal of 

admission to the importer concurrent 

with a demand for redelivery under the 

terms and conditions of the CBP bond. 

A failure to comply with the demand for 

redelivery will result in the assessment 

of liquidated damages equal to three 

times the value of the imports at issue. 

Moreover, covered imports that are 

conditionally released will be under the 

concurrent jurisdiction of DOE and/or 

FTC. 

The proposed amendments are 

consistent with § 429.5(b) of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 

429.5(b)), which is a DOE regulation 

that further notifies the importing 

public that any covered product or 

equipment offered for importation that 

does not meet the applicable energy 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

conservation standards set forth in 42 

U.S.C. 6291–6317 will be refused 

admission into the customs territory of 

the United States under CBP issued 

regulations. 

Executive Order 12866 

Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 

direct agencies to assess costs and 

benefits of available regulatory 

alternatives and, if regulation is 

necessary, to select regulatory 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety 

effects, distributive impacts, and 

equity). Executive Order 13563 

emphasizes the importance of 

quantifying both costs and benefits, of 

reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, 

and of promoting flexibility. This rule 

has been designated a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ although not 

economically significant, under section 

3(f) of Executive Order 12866. 

Accordingly, the rule has been reviewed 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This section examines the impact of 

the rule on small entities as required by 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.), as amended by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement and 

Fairness Act of 1996. A small entity may 

be a small business (defined as any 

independently owned and operated 

business not dominant in its field that 

qualifies as a small business per the 

Small Business Act); a small not-forprofit organization; or a small 

governmental jurisdiction (locality with 

fewer than 50,000 people). 

The proposed rule, if finalized, will 

establish a procedure whereby the DOE 

or the FTC will notify CBP of any 

imported article that is in violation of 42 

U.S.C 6302 and its implementing 

regulations. Upon notification, CBP will 

refuse these articles admission into the 

commerce of the United States. Upon a 

recommendation by the DOE or FTC, 

however, CBP will conditionally release 

noncompliant imported articles under a 

CBP basic importation and entry bond 

for the purpose of bringing the 

merchandise into compliance with 42 

U.S.C. 6302 and its implementing 

regulations. This conditional release is 

valid for a period of 30 days, but it may 

be extended by the DOE or FTC. 

The DOE has identified only a small 

number of businesses importing 

noncompliant articles, of which fewer 

than five were small entities. When 

notified of their noncompliance, each of 

these businesses ceased importation of 

these articles. Given the small number 

of small entities identified by DOE as 

having been noncompliant and that the 

law prohibiting the importation of these 

noncompliant articles within the United 

States was enacted in 1975, CBP does 

not anticipate a significant number of 

small entities attempting to import 

articles which violate 42 U.S.C 6302 and 

its implementing regulations. If a small 

entity does import an article in violation 

of 42 U.S.C 6302 and its implementing 

regulations, the small entity can request 

the DOE or the FTC allow CBP to grant 

the imported article a conditional 

release. CBP believes that cost 

associated with this conditional release 

to be negligible because this request is 

virtually costless to the small entity and 

the importer is already required to 

maintain a CBP basic importation and 

entry bond. 

Accordingly, CBP does not believe 

this rule will have a significant impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities. CBP welcomes any comments 

regarding this assessment. If CBP does 

not receive any comments contradicting 

this finding, CBP will certify that this 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities at the final rule 

stage.

§ 12.50 are added to read as follows: 

Consumer Products and Industrial 

Equipment Subject to Energy 

Conservation or Labeling Standards 

§ 12.50 Consumer products and industrial 

equipment subject to energy conservation 

or labeling standards. 

(a) Definitions. For purposes of this 

section, the following terms have the 

meanings indicated: 

Covered import. The term ‘‘covered 

import’’ means a consumer product or 

industrial equipment that is classified 

by the Department of Energy as covered 

by an applicable energy conservation 

standard, or by the Federal Trade 

Commission as covered by an applicable 

energy labeling standard, pursuant to 

the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

of 1975, as amended (42 U.S.C. 6291- 

6317), and that is imported or attempted 

to be imported. 

DOE. The term ‘‘DOE’’ means the 

Department of Energy. 

Energy conservation standard. The 

term ‘‘energy conservation standard’’ 

means any standard meeting the 

definitions of that term in 42 U.S.C. 

6291(6) or 42 U.S.C. 6311(18). 

FTC. The term ‘‘FTC’’ means the 

Federal Trade Commission. 

Noncompliant covered import. The 

term ‘‘noncompliant covered import’’ 

means a covered import that the 

Department of Energy (DOE) or the 

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has 

determined to be in violation of 42 

U.S.C. 6302. 

(b) CBP action. If a covered import 

does not comply with applicable energy 

conservation or labeling admissibility 

standards, the DOE or FTC may direct 

CBP to either refuse admission of the 

covered import pursuant to paragraph 

(c) of this section or recommend 

conditional release of the covered 

import to be brought into compliance 

pursuant to paragraph (d) of this 

section. 

(c) Refusal of admission. CBP will 

refuse admission into the customs 

territory of the United States to any 

noncompliant covered import upon 

receipt of written or electronic notice 

from the DOE (see also 10 CFR 429.5) 

or FTC that identifies the importer of 

the noncompliant covered import and 

describes the subject import in a manner 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 58 / Monday, March 26, 2012 / Proposed Rules 17367 

sufficient to enable CBP to identify the 

article. 

(d) Conditional release. In lieu of 

immediate refusal of admission into the 

customs territory of the United States, 

CBP, upon a recommendation from the 

DOE or FTC, may permit the release of 

a noncompliant covered import to the 

importer of record for purposes of 

reconditioning, re-labeling, or other 

modification. The release from CBP 

custody of any such covered import will 

be deemed conditional and subject to 

the bond conditions set forth in § 113.62 

of this Chapter. Note: Conditionally 

released covered imports will also be 

subject to the jurisdiction of DOE and/ 

or FTC. 

(1) Duration. Unless extended in 

accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this 

section, the conditional release period 

will terminate upon the earliest 

occurring of the following events: 

(i) The date that CBP issues a notice 

of refusal of admission pursuant to 

paragraph (c) of this section; 

(ii) The date that the DOE or FTC 

issues a notice to CBP stating that the 

covered import is in compliance and 

may proceed; or 

(iii) At the conclusion of the 30-day 

period following the date of release. 

(2) Extension. The conditional release 

period may be extended if both CBP and 

the importer of record receive, within 

the initial 30-day conditional release 

period or any subsequent authorized 

extension thereof, a written or electronic 

notice from the DOE or FTC stating the 

reason for and anticipated length of the 

extension. 

(3) Issuance of a redelivery notice and 

demand for redelivery. If the 

noncompliant covered import is not 

timely brought into compliance, and if 

so directed by DOE or FTC, CBP will 

issue a refusal of admission notice to the 

importer pursuant to paragraph (c) of 

this section and, in addition, CBP will 

demand the redelivery of the specified 

covered product to CBP custody. The 

demand for redelivery may be made 

concurrently with the notice of refusal 

of admission. 

(4) Liquidated damages. A failure to 

comply with a demand for redelivery 

made under this paragraph (d) will 

result in the assessment of liquidated 

damages equal to three times the value 

of the covered product. Value as used in 

this provision means value as 

determined under 19 U.S.C. 1401a.

ACTION: Withdrawal of notice of 

proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: This document withdraws a 

notice of proposed rulemaking, 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 27, 2010, that proposed 

amendments to the Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) regulations that would 

allow brokers, upon the client’s consent 

in a written authorization, to share 

client information with affiliated 

entities related to the broker so that 

these entities may offer non-customs 

business services to the broker’s clients. 

Although the proposed rule was 

prepared in response to a request from 

a member of the broker community 

seeking to allow brokers to share clients’ 

information for marketing purposes, 

there was opposition to the proposal 

from brokers due to the condition on 

sharing the information that CBP 

included in the document to protect 

importers’ proprietary information. The 

notice is being withdrawn to permit 

further consideration of the relevant 

issues involved in the proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: Effective March 26, 2012, the 

proposed rule published October 27, 

2010, (75 FR 66050), is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 27, 2010, Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 66050) 

pertaining to the obligations of customs 

brokers to keep clients’ information 

confidential. The proposed amendment 

would allow brokers, upon the client’s 

written consent, to share client 

information with affiliated entities 

related to the broker so that these 

entities may offer non-customs business 

services to the broker’s clients. The 

proposed amendment would also allow 

customs brokers to use a third-party to 

perform photocopying, scanning, and 

delivery of client records for the broker. 

These proposed changes were intended 

to update the regulations to reflect 

modern business practices, while 

protecting the confidentiality of client 

(importer) information. The comment 

period ended on December 27, 2010. 

CBP received public comment on the 

proposed rulemaking. The majority of 

commenters expressed concern that the 

proposed rule did not serve the interests 

of the importing public. Specifically, 

there was opposition to the proposal 

from brokers due to the condition on 

sharing the information that CBP 

included in the document to protect 

importers’ proprietary information. 

Withdrawal of Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking 

CBP is withdrawing the notice
