RIN 0607–AA55 

Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR): 

Clarification on Filing Requirements; 

Correction 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Census, 

Commerce Department. 

ACTION: Correcting amendments. 

SUMMARY: On April 19, 2017, the Census 

Bureau revised the Foreign Trade 

Regulations (FTR). The revisions to the 

FTR reflected the implementation of the 

International Trade Data System, in 

accordance with the Executive Order 

13659, Streamlining the Export/Import 

Process for American Businesses. In the 

Final Rule, the Census Bureau also 

amended the appendices section. 

Appendices B, C, E, and F were 

removed and appendix D was revised 

and redesignated as the new appendix 

B. With the revisions to the appendices 

section, there are a few sections of the 

FTR that were inadvertently not 

updated to reflect these changes. This 

document corrects the final regulations. 

DATES: Effective on September 20, 2017.

C. Kelly, Chief, International Trade 

Management Division, U.S. Census 

Bureau, Washington, DC 20233–6010,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Census Bureau is responsible for 

collecting, compiling, and publishing 

trade statistics for the United States 

under the provisions of Title 13 of the 

United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, 

Section 301. The Census Bureau 

published a Final Rule in the Federal 

Register (82 FR 18383, April 19, 2017) 

that revised the Foreign Trade 

Regulations (FTR) to reflect new export 

reporting requirements. In the Final 

Rule the Census Bureau amended the 

appendices section. Appendices B, C, E, 

and F were removed and appendix D 

was revised and redesignated as the new 

appendix B. With the revisions to the 

appendices section, there are a few 

sections of the FTR that were 

inadvertently not updated to reflect the 

changes to the appendices. 

Program Requirements 

To comply with the requirements of 

the Foreign Relations Act, Public Law 

107–228, the Census Bureau is 

amending relevant sections of the FTR 

to revise or clarify export reporting 

requirements. Therefore, the Census 

Bureau is correcting 15 CFR part 30 by 

making the following correcting 

amendments: 

• Revise § 30.1(c) to replace the 

reference to appendix D with appendix 

B in the definition of ‘‘Exemption 

legend’’ because appendix D is 

redesignated as appendix B. 

• Revise § 30.1(c) to replace the 

reference to appendix D with appendix 

B in the definition of ‘‘Postdeparture 

filing citation’’ because appendix D is 

redesignated as appendix B. 

• Revise § 30.3(e)(2)(xi) to replace 

‘‘Foreign port of unloading’’ with 

‘‘Foreign port of unlading.’’ 

• Revise § 30.4(b)(3) to replace 

‘‘Foreign port of unloading’’ with 

‘‘Foreign port of unlading.’’ 

• Revise § 30.4(b)(4)(ii)(A) to replace 

the reference to appendix D with 

appendix B because appendix D is 

redesignated as appendix B. 

• Revise § 30.6(a)(18) to remove the 

reference to appendix B because this 

appendix is removed from the FTR. 

• Revise § 30.7(b) to replace the 

reference to appendix D with appendix 

B because appendix D is redesignated as 

appendix B. 

• Revise § 30.8 introductory text to 

replace the reference to appendix D 

with appendix B because appendix D is 

redesignated as appendix B.

under the Foreign Military Sales 

program, household goods, and all other 

shipments). 

* * * * * 

■ 6. Amend § 30.7 by revising 

paragraphs (b) to read as follows: 

§ 30.7 Annotating the bill of lading, air 

waybill, or other commercial loading 

documents with proof of filing citations, 

and exemption legends. 

(a) * * * 

(b) For shipments other than USML, 

the USPPI or the authorized agent is 

responsible for annotating the proper 

proof of filing citation or exemption 

legend on the first page of the bill of 

lading, air waybill, export shipping 

instructions or other commercial 

loading documents. The USPPI or the 

authorized agent must provide the proof 

of filing citation or exemption legend to 

the exporting carrier. The carrier must 

annotate the proof of filing citation, 

exemption or exclusion legends on the 

carrier’s outbound manifest when 

required. The carrier is responsible for 

presenting the appropriate proof of 

filing citation or exemption legend to 

CBP Port Director at the port of export 

as stated in subpart E of this part. Such 

presentation shall be without material 

change or amendment of the proof of 

filing citation, postdeparture filing 

citation, AES downtime filing citation, 

or exemption legend as provided to the

been accepted as transmitted. The 

postdeparture filing citation, AES 

downtime filing citation, or exemption 

legend will identify that no filing is 

required prior to export. The proof of 

filing citations, postdeparture filing 

citations, or exemption legends shall 

appear on the bill of lading, air waybill 

or other commercial loading 

documentation and shall be clearly 

visible. The AES filing citation, 

exemption or exclusion legends are

■ 7. Amend § 30.8 by revising the 

introductory text and paragraph (b) to

§ 30.8 Time and place for presenting proof 

of filing citations and exemption legends. 

The following conditions govern the

USPPI or the authorized agent is 

required to deliver the proof of filing 

citations, postdeparture filing citations, 

AES downtime filing citations, 

exemption, or exclusion legends 

required in § 30.7 to the exporting 

carrier. See appendix B of this part for 

the properly formatted proof of filing 

citations, exemption, or exclusion 

legends. Failure of the USPPI or the 

authorized agent of either the USPPI or 

FPPI to comply with these requirements 

constitutes a violation of the regulations 

in this part and renders such principal 

party or the authorized agent subject to 

the penalties provided for in subpart H 

of this part. 

* * * * * 

(b) Pipeline exports. The proof of 

filing citations or exemption and 

exclusion legends for items being sent 

by pipeline shall be presented to the

Repeal of Regulations Governing the

Program 

AGENCY: National Telecommunications

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The National 

Telecommunications and Information 

Administration (NTIA) is repealing its 

regulations governing the Public 

Telecommunications Facilities Program 

(PTFP). The PTFP was a competitive 

grant program that helped public 

broadcasting stations, state and local 

governments, Indian Tribes, and 

nonprofit organizations to construct 

public television and radio stations. As 

of Fiscal Year 2011, no funds have been 

available for PTFP grants. NTIA is 

repealing its regulations governing the 

PTFP because the regulations are 

unnecessary and obsolete. 

DATES: This rule becomes effective on 

September 20, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The PTFP was a competitive grant 

program that supports the planning and 

construction of public 

telecommunications facilities.1 The 

program helped public broadcasting 

stations, state and local governments, 

Indian Tribes, and nonprofit 

organizations to construct public 

television and radio stations. On 

November 8, 1996, NTIA issued a final 

rule entitled, ‘‘Public 

Telecommunications Facilities 

Program,’’ to carry out its statutory 

responsibility to administer the PTFP.2

The regulations outlined the PTFP grant 

application requirements, the evaluation 

and selection process, post-award 

requirements, and the completion of 

PTFP grant projects. Between Fiscal 

Years 1994 and 2010, NTIA awarded 

between $14 and $42 million each year 

in PTFP grant awards to assist radio, 

television, digital television including 

digital conversion projects, and distance 

learning. 

For the past seven years, no funds 

have been available for PTFP grants. In 

2010, the Department of Commerce 

found that the majority of PTFP grants 

had assisted digital television 

conversion projects which had 

concluded, and that support for public 

broadcasters was available from other 

sources.3 For these reasons, the 

Department of Commerce identified the 

PTFP as ‘‘outdated, ineffective, or 

duplicative.’’ 4 Accordingly, Congress 

appropriated no funds for PTFP in 

Fiscal Year 2011.5
