SUMMARY: This document amends the Customs Regulations pertaining to the 
field organization of Customs by correcting the boundary description of 
Gramercy, Louisiana.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 20, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harold Singer, Chief, Regulations 
Branch, U.S. Customs Service, 202-927-2268.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  

Background

    Customs established a port of entry of Gramercy, Louisiana, by a 
final rule document published as Treasury Decision (T.D.) 82-93 in the 
Federal Register (47 FR 21039) on May 17, 1982. A description of the 
port of entry was set forth in the document.
    On May 31, 1984, Customs published in the Federal Register (49 FR 
22629) T.D. 84-126, a final rule document setting forth the port limits 
of all the ports in the then New Orleans Customs district. One of the 
ports, of which the boundaries were described, was Gramercy, Louisiana. 
The document extended the limits of the Gramercy port from those set 
forth in T. D. 82-93.
    In a document published in the Federal Register (49 FR 27142) on 
July 2, 1984, Customs delayed the effective date of T.D. 84-126 
regarding the extension of the port boundaries of Gramercy. This 
document stated that ``[t]he listing for Gramercy shall remain as set 
forth in section 101.3(b), Customs Regulations,'' meaning that the 
description of the Gramercy port would continue to be as set forth in 
T.D. 82-93.
    The Customs Regulations correctly reflected that the port limits of 
Gramercy were as set forth in T.D. 82-93 until T.D. 95-77 was published 
in the Federal Register (60 FR 50008) on September 27, 1995. In that 
document, which included a revision of section 101.3 to reflect the 
reorganization of Customs, the reference to T.D. 84-126 was 
inadvertently inserted in the ``Limits of port `` column next to the 
listing of the port of entry of Gramercy under the State of Louisiana.
    This document corrects the error by removing the reference 
``(Restated in T.D. 84-126)'' in the ``Limits of port'' column adjacent 
to the entry of Gramercy in the ``Ports of entry column'' under the 
State of Louisiana in section 101.3(b), Customs Regulations.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective 
Date

    Because this document relates to agency organization and management 
and merely corrects the geographical description of a port, it is not 
subject to the notice and public procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 
553. For the same reasons, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), a delayed 
effective date is not required.

Regulatory Flexibiilty Act

    Because this document is not subject to the notice and public 
procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, this document is not subject to 
the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et 
seq.).
