RIN 1515–AB69

Termination of the Bahamas as a

Designated Beneficiary Developing

Country Under the GSP

AGENCY: Customs Service, Department

of the Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document amends the

Customs Regulations pertaining to the

Generalized System of Preferences

(GSP) direct importation requirement by

adding the Bahamas to the list of

countries whose membership in an

association of countries for GSP

purposes has been terminated by the

President. This amendment is intended

to clarify that goods of a current

beneficiary developing country (BDC)

member of the Caribbean Common

Market (CARICOM) may be shipped to

the United States through the Bahamas

and still be considered to be imported

directly, provided other applicable

regulatory requirements are met. Also,

the authority citation for Part 10 is

revised to reference an applicable

General Note provision of the North

American Free Trade Agreement.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 12, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title V of

the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19

U.S.C. 2461–2465), authorizes the

President to establish a Generalized

System of Preferences (GSP)—a trade

preference program—to provide dutyfree treatment for articles which (1) are

designated by the President as eligible

articles for purposes of the GSP, (2) are

the growth, product, or manufacture of

a country designated by the President as

a beneficiary developing country (BDC)

for purposes of the GSP, (3) have at least

35 percent of their appraised value

attributable to the cost or value of

materials produced in the BDC and/or

the direct costs of processing operations

performed in the BDC, and (4) are

imported directly from the BDC into the

Customs territory of the United States.

The Customs Regulations implementing

the GSP are contained in §§ 10.171–

10.178 (19 CFR 10.171–10.178).

Limitations on preferential treatment

under the GSP are contained in 19

U.S.C. 2464. One of the limitations

provided for concerns per capita gross

national product of a BDC for the

determination year: If the President

determines that this measure of a

designated BDC exceeds the applicable

limit for the determination year, then

the country will no longer be treated as

a BDC. 19 U.S.C. 2464(f).

On February 3, 1995, the President

signed Presidential Proclamation 6767,

which provided, inter alia, that he had

determined that the per capita gross

national product of the Bahamas

exceeded the applicable limit provided

for in the Trade Act of 1974.

Accordingly, the Proclamation deleted

the Bahamas from the GSP lists of

independent countries and member

countries of the Caribbean Common

Market (CARICOM), set forth in General

Note 4(a) of the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

Section 10.175 of the Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 10.175) concerns

the GSP direct importation requirement.

Paragraph (e)(1) of § 10.175 permits

shipment to the United States from a

BDC through the territory of a former

BDC whose designation as a member of

the same association for GSP purposes

was terminated by the President

pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 2464, provided

certain requirements are met. Paragraph

(e)(2) of § 10.175 lists such former BDC

association members.

This document amends § 10.175(e)(2)

of the Customs Regulations by adding

the Bahamas to the list of countries

whose membership in an association of

countries for Generalized System of

Preferences (GSP) purposes has been

terminated by the President. This

amendment is intended to clarify that

goods of a current BDC member of the

CARICOM may be shipped to the

United States through the Bahamas and

still be considered to be imported

directly, provided the requirements of

§ 10.175(e)(1) are satisfied.

Also, the general authority citation for

Part 10 is revised to reference certain

General Note provisions of the

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the

United States (HTSUS): General Note

12, which deals with provisions of the

North American Free Trade Agreement,

General Note 17, which deals with

commingled goods, and General Note

20, which authorizes the Secretary of

the Treasury to issue rules and

regulations governing the admission of

articles under the provisions of the tariff

schedule. This document adds these

reference changes.

Inapplicability of Public Notice and

Comment Requirements, Delayed

Effective Date Requirements, the

Regulatory Flexibility Act, and

Executive Order 12866

Because this regulation is necessary to

support the objectives of the existing

GSP program and since it constitutes a

conforming amendment to a benefit

already granted the general public, it is

determined pursuant to 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B) that notice and public

procedures are unnecessary and

contrary to the public interest.

Furthermore, for the above reasons, it is

determined that good cause exists under

the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for

dispensing with a delayed effective

date. Since this document is not subject

to the notice and public procedure

requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, it is not

subject to provisions of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

This amendment does not meet the

criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ as specified in E.O. 12866.

Drafting Information

The principal author of this document

was Gregory R. Vilders, Attorney,

Regulations Branch, U.S. Customs

Service. However, personnel from other

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Corps of Engineers

33 CFR Part 334

Danger Zones, Atlantic Ocean South of

the Entrance to the Chesapeake Bay,

Virginia Beach, Virginia

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

DoD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Corps of Engineers is

amending the regulations which

establish a danger zone in the waters of

the Atlantic Ocean south of the entrance

of the Chesapeake Bay due to the

relocation of the Southeast Sea lanes of

the Atlantic Federal Project Channel.

The relocation of the danger zone is

necessary to provide an additional

measure of safety for vessels operating

in the area. As a result of this

amendment, the danger zone will be

shifted to the south. The overall size

and configuration of the danger zone

will remain the same.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 12, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mr. Rick Henderson at (804) 441–7653

or Mr. Ralph Eppard at (202) 272–1783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to its authorities in Section 7 of the

Rivers and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat.

266; 33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the

Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40

Stat. 892; 33 U.S.C. 3), the Corps is

amending the danger zone regulations

in 33 CFR 334.390.

The Commanding Officer, Fleet

Combat Training Center, Atlantic, U.S.

Navy, has requested that the danger

zone be amended to reflect changes in

the routing of the Southeast Sea Lanes.

There are no changes which will affect

the public’s use of the area. As presently

configured, the danger zone is in the

path of vessel entering and departing

the Southeast Sea Lanes south of the

entrance to the Chesapeake Bay. This

amendment shifts the entire danger

zone to the south. On January 20, 1995,

we published these amendments in the

Notice of Proposed Rules section of the

Federal Register (60 FR 4134–4135)

with the comment period expiring on 19

February 1995. We received on

comments in response to the proposed

rule and accordingly, we are publishing

the final rule as proposed.

Economic Assessment and Certification

This rule is issued with respect to a

military function of the Defense

Department and the provisions of E.O.

12866 do not apply. The relocation of

the danger zone will have only minimal

impact on recreational, commercial or

fishing vessels within the area because

the vessels are not prohibited from use

of the area except when firing is in

progress at the range. The configuration

of the danger zone is not affected by this

amendment. There will be no impacts

on small businesses or governments in

the area. I hereby certify that this

regulation will have no significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 334

Navigation (water), transportation,

restricted areas.

In consideration of the above, the

Corps is amending Part 334 of Title 33

to read as follows:

PART 334—DANGER ZONE AND

RESTRICTED AREA REGULATIONS

1. The authority citation for part 334

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 40 Stat. 266; (33 U.S.C. 1) and

40 Stat. 892; (33 U.S.C. 3).

2. In § 334.390, paragraph (a) is

revised to read as follows:

§ 334.390 Atlantic Ocean south of entrance

to Chesapeake Bay; firing range.

(a) The danger zone. A section

extending seaward for a distance of

12,000 yards between two radial lines

bearing 030° True and 083° True,

respectively, from a point on shore at

latitude 36°46′48′′N, longitude

75°57′24′′W; and an adjacent sector

extending seaward for a distance of 15

nautical miles between two radial lines

bearing 083° True and 150° True,

respectively, from the same shore

position.
