Withdrawal of Notice of Proposed 

Interpretation of the Expression ‘‘Sold 

For Exportation to the United States’’ 

as Used in the Transaction Value 

Method of Valuation in a Series of 

Sales Importation Scenario 

AGENCY: Customs and Border Protection; 

Department of Homeland Security. 

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed 

interpretation. 

SUMMARY: This document withdraws a 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on January 24, 2008, which proposed a 

new interpretation of the phrase ‘‘sold 

for exportation to the United States’’ for 

purposes of applying the transaction 

value method of valuation in a series of 

sales importation scenario. 

DATES: The proposed interpretation is 

withdrawn on September 29, 2010.

Special Programs Branch, Regulations 

and Rulings, Office of International 

Trade, (202) 325–0038. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 24, 2008, Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) published in 

the Federal Register (73 FR 4254) a 

notice informing interested parties that 

CBP was proposing a new interpretation 

of the expression ‘‘sold for exportation 

to the United States’’ for purposes of 

applying the transaction value method 

of valuation in a series of sales 

importation scenario. Under this 

proposed interpretation, in a transaction 

involving a series of sales, the price 

actually paid or payable for the 

imported goods when sold for 

exportation to the United States would 

be the price paid in the last sale 

occurring prior to the introduction of 

the goods into the United States, instead 

of the first (or earlier) sale. Accordingly, 

the transaction value would typically be 

determined on the basis of the price 

paid by the buyer in the United States. 

Intervening Legislation and 

Implementing Regulations 

After CBP published its proposed 

interpretation document, Congress 

enacted the Food, Conservation and 

Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–246, 

122 Stat. 1651 (June 18, 2008)) (‘‘the 

Act’’), in which section 15422 required 

the Commissioner of CBP to collect 

information from importers for a oneyear period as to whether the declared 

value was based on a ‘‘first sale’’ in a 

series of sales transactions. CBP was 

required to report the data to the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

on a monthly basis and, in turn, the ITC 

was required to submit a report to 

Congress within 90 days of receiving 

CBP’s final report. 

Congress also stated in the Act that, 

prior to January 1, 2011, CBP should not 

implement any change to its existing 

interpretation of the expression ‘‘sold for 

exportation to the United States’’ for 

purposes of applying the transaction 

value method of valuation in a series of 

sales importation scenario and, then, 

only in accordance with the prescribed 

terms set forth in the Act. 

An interim rule implementing the 

Act’s first sale declaration requirement 

was published in the Federal Register 

(73 FR 49939) on August 25, 2008 

setting forth in § 141.61(g) of title 19 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR 

141.61(g)) that for a specified time 

period importers were required to 

declare, at the time of entry, whether the 

transaction value of the imported 

merchandise was determined on the 

basis of the price paid by the buyer in 

the first or earlier sale occurring prior to 

introduction of the merchandise into the 

United States. Per the statute and the 

interim regulations, this requirement set 

forth in § 141.61(g) expired on August 

19, 2009. 

In the interim rule document 

published on August 25, 2008, CBP 

informed the public that the agency 

intended to withdraw the proposed 

interpretation. 

Withdrawal of Proposal 

In accordance with its intent as stated 

in the interim rule, CBP withdraws the 

notice of proposed interpretation 

published in the Federal Register (73 

FR 4254) on January 24, 2008. 

Dated: September 24, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This study was approved by OMB (on 

September 30, 2009). We are requesting 

a revision of this collection. The U.S. 

Geological Survey’s (USGS) Land 

Remote Sensing (LRS) Program has been 

briefed on the results associated with 

this ICR and has requested additional 

information to be collected concerning 

the users of Landsat Imagery. After 

careful consideration and review of the 

results, the LRS Program determined 

that they would like to know more 

about users of Landsat imagery. 

Specifically, in order to meet legal and 

programmatic responsibilities to 

effectively manage the Landsat system, 

the LRS has requested additional 

information about the uses and the 

values of a defined population of users 

who obtain imagery from the Earth 

Resources Observation and Science 

Center (EROS). EROS is responsible for 

collecting, processing, archiving, and 

distributing Landsat imagery. Between 

2008 and 2009, there was a five-fold 

increase in users when imagery became 

available at no cost beginning in late 

2008. The LRS Program is very 

interested in knowing more about this 

population of users. The initial 

information collection provided 

information about a diverse contingent 

of Landsat and other moderateresolution imagery users, but was not 

generalizable to the entire population of 

users, and did not include new users 

who may have begun using Landsat 

after it became available at no cost. This 

collection has been revised to provide 

USGS with information about a 

population of users for which they 

currently have no existing data. 

Additionally, this information could 

help guide efforts to provide suitable 

replacement imagery in the event of a 

break in Landsat continuity by 

providing a better understanding of 

likely user responses to this scenario. 

This information collection will be 

conducted by scientists and staff in the 

Policy Analysis and Science Assistance 

Branch (PASA) of the USGS. The 

information collection will be 

conducted online.
