SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 14, 1995, Customs published in the Federal Register (60 FR 
18983) T.D. 95-31 which adopted final rules to implement two Customs 
Modernization provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act concerning raising administrative exemptions and 
exempting from entry requirements specified merchandise. The document 
also clarified the entry procedures for shipments by express 
consignment operators or carriers.
    This document corrects an editing error contained in the final rule 
document (T.D. 95-31) that amended the interim rule document (T.D. 94-
51), which revised Sec. 10.151. In the interim rule document, 
Sec. 10.151 was revised, in part, to provide for certain documentary 
forms of evidence to establish fair retail value for purposes of 
obtaining an exemption from duty. As revised, the interim language of 
the pertinent clause read ``as evidenced by the bill of lading (or 
other document filed as the entry) or manifest listing each bill of 
lading,''. In the final rule document an additional form of evidence 
was added--oral declarations--to the documentary forms already provided 
for. However, in adding this new form of evidence, the amendatory 
language failed to properly place the words ``, an oral declaration'' 
between the words ``as evidenced by'' and ``the'', with the result that 
the subject clause now reads ``as evidenced by the, an oral 
declaration.'' Accordingly, this document corrects that editing error 
by adding the words ``an oral declaration'' after the words ``as 
evidenced by'' so that the corrected clause will read as follows: ``As 
evidenced by an oral declaration, the bill of lading (or other document 
filed as the entry), or the manifest listing each bill of entry''.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the final rule publication of April 14, 1995 (T.D. 95-
31) (60 FR 18983), is corrected as follows:


Sec. 10.151  [Corrected]

    On page 18990, in the third column under the heading Part 10, the 
second amendatory instruction is corrected to read as follows: 2. In 
Sec. 10.151, add the words ``an oral declaration,'' following the words 
``as evidenced by'' in the first sentence.

    Dated: July 14, 1995.
