Grace A. Kim, Regulations and Rulings, Office of Trade, (202) 325-7941.
It is the policy of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to periodically review title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (19 CFR) to ensure that it is accurate and up-to-date so that the importing and general public is aware of CBP programs, requirements, and procedures regarding import-related activities. As part of this review policy, CBP has determined that certain corrections to 19 CFR parts 159 and 181 are necessary.
Section 159.58 (19 CFR 159.58) concerns the suspension of liquidation by CBP when there are antidumping and countervailing duty determinations. The references to part 353 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 159.58(a) and to part 355 of title 19 CFR in 19 CFR 159.58(b) are incorrect. On May 19, 1997, the U.S. Start Printed Page 35065Department of Commerce revised its regulations on antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings to conform to the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (62 FR 27296) (May 19, 1997) which resulted in a new part 351 and the deletion of parts 353 and 355. Accordingly, this document makes conforming changes to §§ 159.58(a) and 159.58(b) to reflect this revision.
Subpart D of Part 181 of title 19 deals with post-importation duty refund claims under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Section 181.33(d)(1) lists instances wherein a port director may deny a post-importation duty refund claim for preferential tariff treatment for imported goods under the NAFTA, and it references § 181.32(b)(3) in the context of the validity of a Certificate of Origin. This is not the correct reference. The proper reference should be to § 181.32(b)(2), which references the requirement to file a Certificate of Origin with respect to the imported goods. Accordingly, this document makes changes to § 181.33(d)(1) to reference § 181.32(b)(2) instead of § 181.32(b)(3).
As the technical corrections set forth in this document merely conform to existing law and regulation, CBP finds that good cause exists for dispensing with notice and public procedure as unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). For this same reason, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), CBP finds that good cause exists for dispensing with the requirement for a delayed effective date.
Suspension of liquidation pending disposition of American manufacturer's cause of action
Trade agreements (North American Free-Trade Agreements)
