19 CFR Part 4 

[CBP Dec. 08–27] 

Countries Whose Pleasure Vessels 

May Be Issued Cruising Licenses 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection, 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document amends the 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) regulations relating to the list of 

foreign countries whose pleasure vessels 

may be issued U.S. cruising licenses. 

Pursuant to information provided by the 

British Embassy, the Department of 

State has recommended that CBP update 

the listing relating to the United 

Kingdom. 

DATES: These amendments are effective 

on October 15, 2008. The changes 

reflected in these amendments became 

applicable on May 1, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Goli 

Gharib, Regulations and Rulings, Office 

of International Trade, (202) 572–8851. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Section 4.94(a) of the CBP regulations 

(19 CFR 4.94(a)), provides that U.S. 

documented vessels with a recreational 

endorsement, used exclusively for 

pleasure, not engaged in any trade, and 

not violating the customs or navigation 

laws of the United States, may proceed 

from port to port in the United States or 

to foreign ports without entering or 

clearing, as long as they have not visited 

hovering vessels. When returning from 

a foreign port or place, such pleasure 


erowe on PROD1PC64 with RULES
60944 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 200 / Wednesday, October 15, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

vessels are required to report their 

arrival pursuant to § 4.2, CBP 

regulations (19 CFR 4.2). 

Generally, foreign-flag yachts entering 

the United States are required to comply 

with the laws applicable to foreign 

vessels arriving at, departing from, and 

proceeding between ports of the United 

States. However, as provided in 

§ 4.94(b), CBP regulations (19 CFR 

4.94(b)), CBP may issue cruising 

licenses to pleasure vessels from certain 

countries if it is found that yachts of the 

United States are exempt from formal 

entry and clearance procedures (e.g., 

filing manifests, obtaining permits to 

proceed and paying entry and clearance 

fees) in those countries. 

If a foreign-flag yacht is issued a 

cruising license, the yacht, for a stated 

period not to exceed one year, may 

arrive and depart from the United States 

and to cruise in specified waters of the 

United States without entering and 

clearing, without filing manifests and 

obtaining or delivering permits to 

proceed, and without the payment of 

entrance and clearance fees, or fees for 

receiving manifests and granting 

permits to proceed, duty on tonnage, 

tonnage tax, or light money. Upon 

arrival at each port in the United States, 

the master of a foreign-flag yacht with 

a cruising license must report the fact of 

arrival to the appropriate CBP office. A 

list of countries whose yachts are 

eligible for cruising licenses is set forth 

in § 4.94(b). 

By an undated letter received on May 

1, 2007, the Department of State 

informed the Chief, Cargo Security, 

Carriers and Immigration Branch, CBP, 

that the British Embassy has advised 

that the listing for Great Britain in 

§ 4.94(b) requires updating. The 

Department of State recommends that 

the reference in § 4.94(b) for Great 

Britain be revised to read as follows: 

United Kingdom and the Dependencies: 

the Anguilla Islands, the Isle of Man, the 

British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, 

and the Turks and Caicos Islands. 

Additionally, the Department of State 

recommends that Saint Vincent and the 

Grenadines; and Saint Kitts and Nevis 

(formerly the Federation of Saint 

Christopher and Nevis) be listed 

separately from the United Kingdom as 

they are now independent countries. 

The Chief, Cargo Security, Carriers 

and Immigration Branch has found, 

based on the information provided, that 

the reciprocity required in § 4.94(b) has 

been established with respect to the 

above-referenced countries effective 

May 1, 2007. Accordingly, under the 

authority of 46 U.S.C. 60504, yachts 

from the above-referenced countries 

used only for pleasure may arrive at and 

depart from the ports of the United 

States and cruise in the waters of the 

United States without payment of any 

duties or fees. The list of countries in 

§ 4.94(b) is being revised in this final 

rule document as discussed above. The 

authority to amend this section of the 

CBP regulations has been delegated to 

the Chief, Trade and Commercial 

Regulations Branch, Regulations and 

Rulings, Office of International Trade. 

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed 

Effective Date 

Because these amendments merely 

implement a statutory requirement and 

confer a benefit upon the public, CBP 

has determined that notice and public 

procedure are unnecessary pursuant to 

section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(B)). Further, for the same 

reasons, good cause exists for 

dispensing with a delayed effective date 

under section 553(d)(3) of the APA (5 

U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). 

Regulatory Flexibility Act and 

Executive Order 12866 

Because no notice of proposed 

rulemaking is required, the provisions 

of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This 

amendment does not meet the criteria 

for a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ as 

specified in Executive Order 12866. 

Signing Authority 

This document is being issued by CBP 

in accordance with § 0.1(b)(1) of the 

CBP regulations (19 CFR 0.1(b)(1)).

Amendments to the CBP Regulations

Turks and Caicos Islands; St. Vincent 

(including the territorial waters of the 

Northern Grenadine Islands), the 

Cayman Islands, the St. ChristopherNevis-Anguilla Islands and the British 

Virgin Islands)’’ and adding, in 

appropriate alphabetical order, the 

words ‘‘Saint Vincent and the 

Grenadines’’, ‘‘Saint Kitts and Nevis,’’ 

and ‘‘United Kingdom and the 

Dependencies: the Anguilla Islands, the 

Isle of Man, the British Virgin Islands, 

the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and 

Caicos Islands’’.

30 CFR Part 938 

[PA–152–FOR; Docket ID: OSM–2008–0019] 

Pennsylvania Regulatory Program 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), 

Interior. 

ACTION: Final Rule; rescission of a 

modified required amendment. 

SUMMARY: We are announcing a 

rescission of a required amendment that 

we imposed, in modified form, upon the 

Pennsylvania regulatory program (the 

‘‘Pennsylvania program’’) under the 

Surface Mining Control and 

Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the 

Act). We had modified a previous 

version of the required amendment, 

which we originally imposed in 1991. 

The United States Court of Appeals for 

the Third Circuit, and the United States 

District Court for the Middle District of 

Pennsylvania, on remand from the 

Third Circuit, set aside our termination 

of the 1991 required amendment. We 

are rescinding the modified required 

amendment because under those court 

actions, no action on our part was 

necessary to implement the Courts’ 

orders. 

DATES: Effective Date: October 15, 2008.
