the declaration, entry, assessment of duty and processing of petitions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations regarding foreign repairs to American vessels 
were published as T.D. 01-24 in the Federal Register (66 FR 16392) on 
Monday, March 26, 2001. In particular, these final regulations set 
forth the requirements regarding the declaration, entry, assessment of 
duty and processing of petitions for relief from duty for vessels of 
the United States which undergo foreign shipyard operations. The final 
rule document contained an error which could prove to

be misleading and is in need of clarification.

Need for Correction

    Specifically, the final rule document amended the authority 
citation for part 159, Customs Regulations (19 CFR part 159), by moving 
specific authority citations for certain regulatory sections in the 
part to the authority citation section set forth at the beginning of 
the part from parenthetical references set forth immediately following 
the text of the particular sections. However, it has come to Customs 
attention that these same changes relating to the authority citation 
for part 159 were previously made in an interim rule document that was 
published in the Federal Register (64 FR 56433) on October 20, 1999, as 
T.D. 99-75.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on March 26, 2001, of the final 
regulations concerning foreign repairs to American vessels (T.D. 01-24) 
(FR Doc. 01-7325) is corrected as follows:

    1. On page 16399, in the third column, under the heading, ``PART 
159--LIQUIDATION OF DUTIES'', correct amendatory instruction number 1 
to read: ``The authority citation for part 159 continues to read as 
follows:''
    2. On page 16400, in the first column, under the heading, ``PART 
159--LIQUIDATION OF DUTIES'', remove amendatory instruction number 2.
    3. On page 16400, in the first and second columns, again under the 
heading, ``PART 159--LIQUIDATION OF DUTIES'', renumber amendatory 
instruction numbers 3, 4 and 5 as amendatory instruction numbers 2, 3, 
and 4, respectively.

    Dated: April 19, 2001.

Chief, Regulations Branch.
