Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This document amends the

regulations of both the Customs Service

(Customs) and the Immigration and

Naturalization Service (the Service)

pertaining to their respective field

organizations. The document removes

Eagle Pass Municipal Airport located in

Eagle Pass, Texas, as an international

airport for Customs purposes and as a

port of entry for aliens arriving by vessel

or by land transportation for Service

purposes. This document also

designates Maverick County Airport

located in Maverick County, Texas, as a

new international airport for Customs

purposes and as a port of entry for

aliens arriving by vessel, land

transportation, or by aircraft for Service

purposes. These changes will assist both

agencies in their continuing efforts to

achieve more efficient use of their

personnel, facilities, and resources, and

to provide better service to carriers,

importers, and the general public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 24, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On March 27, 1995, the Customs

Service (Customs) and the Immigration

and Naturalization Service (the Service)

published a joint notice of proposed

rulemaking in the Federal Register (60

FR 15703) that solicited comments

concerning proposals to amend their

respective regulations regarding their

field organizations. Customs proposed

amending § 122.13 of the Customs

Regulations (19 CFR 122.13), which lists

international airports, to reflect (1) The

revocations of international airport

designations for Ranier International

Seaplane Base located in Ranier,

Minnesota, and Eagle Pass Municipal

Airport located in Eagle Pass, Texas,

and (2) the designation of Maverick

County Airport located in Maverick

County, Texas, as an international

airport. Similarly, the Service proposed

amending 8 CFR 100.4(c)(2) and (3)

which pertain to ports of entry for aliens

arriving by vessel, land transportation,

or by aircraft, to reflect (1) The removal

of the same two ports of entry (Ranier

International Seaplane Base in the

Service District of St. Paul, Minnesota,

and Eagle Pass Municipal Airport in the

Service District of San Antonio, Texas),

and (2) the designation of Maverick

County Airport as a port of entry for the

processing of aliens arriving by vessel,

land transportation, or by aircraft.

At the time of drafting the joint notice

of proposed rulemaking it was believed

that the proposed changes to the field

organizations of the two agencies would

not result in any significant reduction in

Customs/Immigration services in those

areas. Future Minnesota transactions

were to be handled at either Sky Harbor

Airport or Crane Lake Seaplane Base,

both landing rights airports. Future

Texas transactions were to be handled at

Maverick County Airport, also a landing

rights airport, which was to be

designated as an international airport

for Customs purposes and a port of

entry for Service purposes. The public

comment period for the proposed

amendments closed May 26, 1995.

Discussion of Comments

Ranier

Two comments were received, both

protesting the revocation/withdrawal of

the international airport/port of entry

designation for Ranier International

Seaplane Base located in Ranier,

Minnesota. Both comments stated that

revocation of the Ranier International

Seaplane Base would be inappropriate

because the facility was important to the

commercial and private seaplane traffic

crossing at the Ontario and Northern

Minnesota borders. Accordingly, after

further consideration of the matter and

discovering that the community has

taken action to improve the inspection

facilities at the Seaplane Base and to

eliminate unsafe working conditions,

Customs and the Service have decided

to withdraw their proposal regarding the

revocation/withdrawal of international

airport/port of entry status for Ranier

International Seaplane Base, Minnesota.

Eagle Pass/Maverick

No comments were received regarding

the: (1) Revocation/withdrawal of the

international airport/port of entry status

for Eagle Pass Municipal Airport, Texas,

and the (2) designation of Maverick

County Airport, Texas, as an

international airport/port of entry.

Accordingly, after further consideration

of this matter, Customs and the Service

have decided to proceed with the final

rule respecting this change in their field

organization. However, it will not be

necessary to amend 8 CFR 100.4(c)(3) to

remove ‘‘Eagle Pass, TX, Eagle Pass

Airport’’ as a port of entry for aliens

arriving by aircraft, since this action has

already been accomplished by the

Service in a final rule published on

November 14, 1995, at 60 FR 57165.

Conclusion

Accordingly, Customs and the Service

are amending their respective

regulations regarding the: (1)

Revocation/withdrawal of the

international airport/port of entry status

for Eagle Pass Municipal Airport, Texas,

and the (2) designation of Maverick

County Airport, Texas, as an

international airport/port of entry. The

International Seaplane Base located in

Ranier, Minnesota, will continue to

provide Customs and Immigration

services.

Authority

This change is proposed under the

authority of 5 U.S.C. 301, 8 U.S.C. 1103,

and 19 U.S.C. 2, 66, and 1624.

Inapplicability of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act and Executive Orders

12606, 12612, and 12866

Although the joint notice of proposed

rulemaking published solicited public

comments, because these regulatory

amendments relate to agency

management and organization matters,

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

553(a)(2), they are not subject to the

notice and public procedure

requirements. Accordingly, this

document is not subject to the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

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

Pursuant to the provisions of E.O.

12606, the Commissioners of Customs

and the Immigration and Naturalization

Service certify that they have assessed

these amendments in light of the criteria
25778 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 101 / Thursday, May 23, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

set forth in that E.O., and determined

that this regulation will not have a

significant impact on family formation,

maintenance, and general well-being.

Pursuant to the provisions of E.O.

12612, it is certified that this regulation

has been assessed in light of the

principles, criteria, and requirements

specified in that E.O. and that they will

not have substantial direct effects on the

States, on the relationship between the

National Government and the States, or

on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment

is not warranted.

This document does not meet the

criteria for a ‘‘significant regulatory

action’’ as defined in E.O. 12866.

Drafting Information

The principal author of this document

was Gregory R. Vilders, Attorney, Office

of Regulations and Rulings, U.S.

Customs Service; however, personnel

from other offices and agencies

participated in its development.
