SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Under section 501 of the Trade and

Development Act of 2000 (the ‘‘Act’’)

(Pub. L. 106–200, 114 Stat. 251; May 18,

2000), the Harmonized Tariff Schedule

of the United States (HTSUS) was

amended to establish a tariff-rate quota

for certain worsted wool fabrics that are

entered or withdrawn from warehouse

for consumption, on or afterJanuary 1,

2001.

Generally, under a tariff-rate quota,

the United States applies one tariff rate,

known as the in-quota rate, to imports

of a product up to a particular amount,

known as the in-quota quantity, and

another, higher rate, known as the overquota rate, to imports of a product in

excess of the given amount. The

preferential, in-quota rate would be

applicable to the product only to the

extent that the aggregate in-quota

quantity of the product that is entered

or withdrawn for consumption is not

exceeded during the quota year.

To establish the tariff-rate quota for

worsted wool fabrics, subchapter 2 of

Chapter 99, HTSUS, was amended by

section 501(a) and (b) of the Act to add

two new subheadings, 9902.51.11 and

9902.51.12, respectively.

The two new subheadings created by

section 501(a) and (b) of the Act

describe certain fabrics of worsted wool

provided for in subheadings 5111.11.70,

5111.19.60, 5112.11.20 and 5112.19.90,

HTSUS. Since the passage of the Act,

the President issued Presidential

Proclamation 7383 (December 1, 2000).

The Annex to that Presidential

Proclamation provided, in pertinent

part, for the following HTSUS

substitutions, effective on or after

January 1, 2001:

Subheading 5112.11.20 is replaced by

subheadings 5112.11.30 and 5112.11.60;

and

Subheading 5112.19.90 is replaced by

subheadings 5112.19.60 and 5112.19.95.

Further, it is noted that HTSUS

subheadings 5111.11.70 and 5111.19.60

do not provide for worsted wool fabric

so fabrics described in those

subheadings would not meet the

description of fabrics that could fall

under the tariff rate quota.

Accordingly, the tariff rate quota is

applicable to certain fabrics of worsted

wool provided for in subheadings

5112.11.30, 5112.11.60, 5112.19.60 and

5112.19.95, HTSUS, that are described

in and entered under subheadings

9902.51.11 and 9902.51.12, HTSUS.

Need for Tariff-Rate Quota for Worsted

Wool Fabrics

Worsted wool fabrics as described in

HTSUS subheadings 5112.11.30,

5112.11.60, 5112.19.60 and 5112.19.95

are subject to a duty rate of 28.3% ad

valorem. However, articles, such as

men’s suits, that are made (cut and

sewn) from this fabric, are dutiable at

the lower rate of 18.8% ad valorem.

By applying a higher tariff rate to the

input product, i.e., the worsted wool

fabric, than to the more labor-intensive

and higher-value-added apparel items

that are made from the fabric, the tariff

schedule in effect provides an incentive

for the importation of the finished

apparel items at the lower rate of duty,

to the competitive detriment of U.S.

suit-makers. Furthermore, this tariff

inversion is compounded by the

additional reduction in tariffs on men’s

wool suits that are made in Canada or

Mexico pursuant to the North American

Free Trade Agreement Implementation

Act (NAFTA) (Pub. L. 103–182;

December 8, 1993). In this latter

instance, U.S. suit-makers face greater

competitive disadvantage due to the

increased difference in tariff between

the worsted wool fabric relative to the

free rate of duty on imports of such suits

under NAFTA.

Consequently, under the tariff-rate

quota adopted in this case, the tariff on

imported worsted wool fabric entered

under HTSUS subheading 9902.51.11 or

9902.51.12 (which includes certain

fabric of worsted wool provided for in

HTSUS subheadings 5112.11.30,

5112.11.60, 5112.19.60 and 5112.19.95)

is reduced in an effort to limit the

above-described tariff inversion, and the

resultant competitive disadvantage,

faced by U.S. suit-makers in the

purchase of such fabric that is intended

for use in the manufacture of men’s and

boys’ suits, suit-type jackets and

trousers.

Application of Tariff-Rate Quota Under

HTSUS Subheadings 9902.51.11 and

9902.51.12

Specifically, under subheading

9902.51.11, which covers those worsted

wool fabrics having an average fiber

diameter greater than 18.5 micron, the

applicable tariff rate is reduced from the

current rate of 28.3% ad valorem to the

rate in effect for worsted wool suit-type

jackets in HTSUS subheading

6203.31.00 (currently, 18.8% ad

valorem); and, under subheading

9902.51.12, which covers those worsted

wool fabrics having an average fiber

diameter of 18.5 micron or less, the

applicable tariff rate is reduced from the

current U.S. rate of 28.3% to a rate

equivalent to the Canadian ‘‘most

favored nation’’ (MFN) rate for imports

of such fabric (currently, 6%).

Both subheadings 9902.51.11 and

9902.51.12 also require that the worsted

wool fabric be certified by the importer

as being suitable for use in making suits,

suit-type jackets, or trousers.

This tariff-rate quota for worsted wool

fabric is to be in effect for calendar years

2001, 2002 and 2003. The quota year is

thus the calendar year (from January 1–

December 31, inclusive) in which the

subject fabric is entered or withdrawn

for consumption.

The in-quota quantities of worsted

wool fabric entered under HTSUS

subheading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12

that are eligible for the reduced tariffs

for each quota year are limited,

respectively, to 2.5 million square meter

equivalents and 1.5 million square

meter equivalents (U.S. Notes 15 and 16

to subchapter II of Chapter 99, HTSUS,

respectively, as amended by section

501(d) of the Act). These in-quota

quantities may be adjusted on an annual

basis as provided in section 504(b) of

the Act.

Administration of Tariff-Rate Quota by

U.S. Department of Commerce

In implementing the in-quota limits

on the quantities of worsted wool fabric

that may be entered or withdrawn for

consumption subject to the reduced

tariffs afforded by subheadings

9902.51.11 and 9902.51.12, the U.S.

Department of Commerce has been

delegated the authority under section

501(e) of the Act to fairly apportion

these in-quota quantities among those

persons, including firms, corporations

and other legal entities, in the United

States, who cut and sew men’s and

boys’ worsted wool suits, suit-type

jackets and trousers. This delegation of

authority to the Department of

Commerce was effected by Presidential

Proclamation No. 7383 (December 1,

2000).

Accordingly, the Department of

Commerce has issued regulations setting

up a program for the allocation of the

aggregate in-quota quantity established,

respectively, for subheadings 9902.51.11

and 9902.51.12 (15 CFR 335.1–335.7;

see Federal Register dated January 22,

2001 (66 FR 6459)).

In pertinent part, under this program,

the usage of the quota is allocated to

U.S. suit-makers by virtue of licenses

issued to them by the Department of

Commerce. Each license is issued for a

21666 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 1, 2001 / Rules and Regulations

stated quantity of fabric and is required

to have a unique control number. A suitmaker who has been issued such a

license (a licensee) may enter worsted

wool fabric under subheading

9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12 at the related

in-quota rate of duty, up to the amount

authorized in the license.

However, if the importer of record is

not the licensee, the importer must have

received an authorization from the

licensee to act on its behalf, in order to

be entitled to the in-quota rate of duty.

The licensee may only authorize an

importer to import fabric under the

license on its behalf by making such an

authorization in writing or by an

electronic notice to the importer and by

providing a copy of such authorization

to the Department of Commerce. This

authorization must include the unique

control number of the license; it must

specifically cover the fabric being

imported; and it must be in the

possession of the importer at the time of

filing the entry summary or warehouse

withdrawal for consumption (Customs

Form 7501), or its electronic equivalent,

in order for the importer to be eligible

for the applicable in-quota rate of duty.

A licensee may only withdraw an

authorization from an importer by

notifying the importer in writing or by

electronic notice and by providing a

copy of this withdrawal notification to

the Department of Commerce. It is the

responsibility of the licensee to

safeguard the use of the license issued.

Neither the Department of Commerce

nor Customs is liable for any

unauthorized or improper use of the

license.

Corresponding Customs Rulemaking

In accordance with the rulemaking of

the Department of Commerce, Customs

is issuing this interim rule in order to

set forth a new § 132.18, Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 132.18), that

prescribes the form and manner by

which an importer establishes that a

valid license exists for worsted wool

fabric subject to the tariff-rate quota that

is entered under HTSUS subheading

9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12. In particular,

the unique control number assigned to

the license must be referenced on the

entry summary or warehouse

withdrawal for consumption, or its

electronic equivalent, in order to entitle

the importer to claim the in-quota rate

of duty on the worsted wool fabric.

Section 132.18 also makes clear that

by claiming the in-quota rate of duty for

worsted wool fabric that is entered

under HTSUS subheading 9902.51.11 or

9902.51.12, the importer is thus

certifying that the worsted wool fabric is

suitable for use in making suits, suittype jackets, or trousers, as required

under these subheadings.

In addition, this document revises the

Interim (a)(1)(A) List set forth as an

Appendix to part 163, Customs

Regulations (19 CFR part 163,

Appendix) to make reference to the

license or written authorization required

under new § 132.18. The (a)(1)(A) List

provides a listing of the records and

information required for the entry of

merchandise.

Comments

Before adopting this interim

regulation as a final rule, consideration

will be given to any written comments

that are timely submitted to Customs.

Customs specifically requests comments

on the clarity of this interim rule and

how it may be made easier to

understand. Comments submitted will

be available for public inspection in

accordance with the Freedom of

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), § 1.4,

Treasury Department Regulations (31

CFR 1.4), and § 103.11(b), Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 103.11(b)), on

regular business days between the hours

of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the

Regulations Branch, U.S. Customs

Service, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue,

NW., 3rd Floor, Washington, DC.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed

Effective Date Requirements, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and

Executive Order 12866

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B), Customs has determined that

good cause exists for dispensing with

prior public notice and comment

procedures for this interim rule. This

interim rule implements a preferential

tariff benefit in favor of the importing

public; it provides a necessary and

reasonable means for carrying out this

preferential tariff benefit; and it closely

parallels existing regulatory provisions

that implement similar trade preference

programs. Also, for these same reasons,

there is no need for a delayed effective

date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d). Because no

notice of proposed rulemaking is

required for interim regulations, the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply.

Nor does this document meet the

criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ as specified in Executive Order

12866.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The collections of information

involved in this interim rule have

already been approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) in

accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507)

and assigned OMB ControlNumbers

1515–0065 (Entry summary and

continuation sheet) and 1515–0124

(General recordkeeping and record

production requirements). This rule

does not make any material change to

the existing approved information

collections.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless the collection of information

displays a valid control number

assigned by OMB.

below.

PART 132—QUOTAS

1. The general authority citation for

part 132 continues to read, and the

specific sectional authority under this

part is revised to read, as follows:

Authority: 19 U.S.C. 66, 1202 (General

Note 22, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS)), 1623, 1624.

§§ 132.15 through 132.18 also issued under

19 U.S.C. 1202 (additional U.S. Note 3 to

Chapter 2, HTSUS; subchapter III of Chapter

2. Part 132 is amended by adding a

new § 132.18 to read as follows:

§ 132.18 License for certain worsted wool

fabric subject to tariff-rate quota.

(a) Requirement. For worsted wool

fabric that is entered under HTSUS

subheading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12,

the importer must possess a valid

license, or a written authorization from

the licensee, pursuant to regulations of

the U.S. Department of Commerce (15

CFR 335.5), in order to claim the inquota rate of duty on the worsted wool

fabric at the time it is entered or

withdrawn from warehouse for

consumption. The importer must record

the distinct and unique 9-character

number for the license covering the

worsted wool fabric on the entry

summary or warehouse withdrawal for

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 84 / Tuesday, May 1, 2001 / Rules and Regulations 21667

consumption (Customs Form 7501,

column 34), or its electronic equivalent

(see paragraph (c)(1) of this section).

(b) Importer certification. By entering

the worsted wool fabric under HTSUS

subheading 9902.51.11 or 9902.51.12,

the importer thus certifies that the

worsted wool fabric is suitable for use

in making suits, suit-type jackets, or

trousers, as required under these

subheadings.

(c) Validity of license.—(1) License

number. To be valid, the license, or

written authorization issued under the

license and including its unique control

three elements:

(i) The first character must be a ‘‘W’’;

(ii) The second and third characters

must consist of the last 2 digits of the

calendar year for which the license is

issued and during which it is in effect;

and

(iii) The final 6 characters represent

the distinct and unique identifier

assigned to the license by the

Department of Commerce.

(2) Use of license. A license covering

worsted wool fabric that is entered

under HTSUS subheading 9902.51.11 or

9902.51.12 is in effect, and may be used

to obtain the applicable in-quota rate of

duty for fabric that is entered or

withdrawn for consumption, only

during the specific calendar year

(January 1—December 31, inclusive) for

which the license is issued (see 15 CFR

335.2 and 335.5(b) and (d)).

(d) Retention and production of

license or authorization to Customs. The

license and any written authorization

from the licensee to the importer are

subject to the recordkeeping

requirements of part 163 of this chapter

(19 CFR part 163). Specifically, the

license and any written authorization

must be retained for a period of 5 years

in accordance with § 163.4(a) of this

chapter, and must be made available to

Customs upon request in accordance

with § 163.6(a) of this chapter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Pursuant to Treasury Order 120–01

(formerly 221), dated June 6, 1972, the

Secretary of the Treasury delegated to

the Director of the Bureau of Alcohol,

Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), the

authority to enforce, among other laws,

the provisions of chapter 51 of the

Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (IRC)

and the Federal Alcohol Administration

(FAA) Act. The Director has

subsequently redelegated certain of

these authorities to appropriate

subordinate officers by way of various

means, including by regulation, ATF

delegation orders, regional directives, or

similar delegation documents. As a

result, to ascertain what particular

officer is authorized to perform a

particular function under chapter 51 of

the IRC or the FAA Act, each of these

various delegation instruments must be

consulted. Similarly, each time a

delegation of authority is revoked or

redelegated, each of the delegation

documents must be reviewed and

amended as necessary.

ATF has determined that this

multiplicity of delegation instruments

complicates and hinders the task of

determining which ATF officer is

authorized to perform a particular

function. ATF also believes these

multiple delegation instruments

exacerbate the administrative burden

associated with maintaining up-to-date

delegations, resulting in an undue delay

in reflecting current authorities.

Accordingly, this final rule rescinds

all authorities of the Director in part 250

that were previously delegated and

places those authorities with the

‘‘appropriate ATF officer.’’ All of the

authorities of the Director that were not

previously delegated are also placed

with the ‘‘appropriate ATF officer.’’

Along with this final rule, ATF is

publishing ATF Order 1130.23,

Delegation Order—Delegation of the

Director’s Authorities in 27 CFR Part

250, Liquors and Articles from Puerto

Rico and the Virgin Islands, which

delegates certain of these authorities to

the appropriate organizational level.

The effect of these changes is to

consolidate all delegations of authority

in part 250 into one delegation

instrument. This action both simplifies

the process for determining what ATF

officer is authorized to perform a

particular function and facilitates the

updating of delegations in the future. As

a result, delegations of authority will be

reflected in a more timely and userfriendly manner.

In addition, this final rule also

eliminates all references in the
