Critical Functions: Functions whose

failure would contribute to, or cause, a

failure condition that would prevent the

Technical Amendments to the

Customs Regulations

AGENCY: U.S. Customs Service,

Department of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document makes various

minor technical changes and corrections

to the Customs Regulations, in

accordance with Customs policy of

periodically reviewing its regulations to

ensure that they are current.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 7, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

part 151: William Kotlowy, Cargo

Control, (202–927–1364).

For parts 19, 24 and 146: Marcus

Sircus, Trade Compliance, (202–927–

0510).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The technical amendments

summarized below are made with

respect to parts 19, 24, 146 and 151,

Customs Regulations (19 CFR parts 19,

24, 146 and 151).

Discussion of Changes

1. The warehouse fee suspension

authorized in § 9501 of the Omnibus

Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (19

U.S.C. 58c(e)(6)(C)(ii)) is recognized by

eliminating the references to this fee

contained in §§ 19.2(a), 19.3(a), 19.17(a)

and 24.21(b)(2), Customs Regulations

(19 CFR 19.2(a), 19.3(a), 19.17(a) and

24.21(b)(2)). It is noted that § 19.5,

which provided for the assessment of a

fee to establish, alter or relocate a

bonded warehouse, and for an annual

operation fee with respect thereto, was

previously removed from the Customs

Regulations (see T.D. 92–81, 57 FR

37692, 37697 (August 20, 1992) and 60

FR 42431 (August 16, 1995)).

2. Furthermore, the foreign trade zone

fee suspension also authorized in

section 9501 of the Omnibus Budget

Reconciliation Act of 1987 (see 19

U.S.C. 58c(e)(6)(C)(i)) is acknowledged

by removing and reserving § 146.5,

Customs Regulations (19 CFR 146.5),

which required the assessment of an

activation fee and an annual fee in

relation to a zone. In addition, the

references to this fee appearing in

§§ 146.6(b)(1), 146.7(a) and (b), and

146.82(a)(6) are likewise deleted, with

these provisions being amended as

appropriate.

3.a. Generally, imported merchandise

may not be opened, examined or

inspected until it has been entered

under some form of entry for

consumption or warehouse. Exceptions

to this general requirement are set forth

in § 151.4, Customs Regulations (19 CFR

151.4).

In particular, § 151.4(c)(2), under the

conditions prescribed therein, permits

an operation not amounting to a

manufacture to be performed in

connection with imported merchandise

entered or withdrawn for transportation

under bond or for exportation, provided

that the permitted operation is approved

by both the applicable Customs field

office and the Commissioner of

Customs. Customs has since decided,

however, that this approval authority

may simply remain at the field office

level. To implement this change of

policy, § 151.4(c)(2) is amended by

removing the reference to the

Commissioner of Customs. By

simplifying the approval procedure as

described, this amendment confers a

benefit upon both the importing public

as well as Customs itself.

3.b. Section 151.5(c) requires that the

Government be reimbursed for the

compensation and other expenses of the

Customs officer who must supervise a

permitted operation under § 151.4(b)

and (c). It is stated that such

compensation would be computed in

accordance with § 19.5(b), Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 19.5(b)). However,

pursuant to T.D. 82–204, 47 FR 49355,

49365, 49374–49375 (November 1,

1982), the procedure for computing the

charges for reimbursable Customs

services then contained in § 19.5,

including the compensation of Customs

officers as detailed in § 19.5(b), was

transferred to § 24.17(d) of the Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 24.17(d)). See also

the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in

this matter, 47 FR 9225, 9231 (March 4,

1982). (As previously noted, § 19.5, due

to the warehouse fee suspension, was

later removed from the Customs

Regulations in its entirety.)

Accordingly, § 151.5(c) is amended by

removing the reference to ‘‘§ 19.5(b)’’

and inserting in place thereof a

reference to ‘‘§ 24.17(d)’’.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and

Comment and Delayed Effective Date

Requirements, the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, and Executive Order

12866

Because the amendments merely

conform to existing law or regulation, or

simplify an administrative procedure

resulting in a benefit to the importing

public as noted above, 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.). Nor do these

amendments result in a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under E.O. 12866.
