SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In its continuing efforts to achieve more efficient use of its 
personnel, facilities, and resources, and to provide better services to 
carriers, importers, and the public in general, Customs is changing the 
structure of its organization both in the field and at Headquarters.
    Customs is now eliminating districts and regions from its field 
organization to place more emphasis on field operations, especially at 
the Customs ports of entry, and restructuring to provide better support 
services for those ports of entry. The current regulations contain a 
significant number of references (over 2,000) to organizational 
entities which will no longer exist or which will have a different 
functional context at 11:59 p.m., EST on September 30, 1995. 
Accordingly, regulatory references to ``district directors'', 
``regional commissioners'', etc., are replaced with ``port directors'', 
``Assistant Commissioner'', etc., to reflect the new field and 
Headquarters structure of Customs and where decisional authority will 
now lie. All Parts in Chapter 1 of title 19 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations are affected in this document except Part 181 which 
contains the North American Free Trade Agreement regulations that, as 
adopted in final form with effect from October 1, 1995, will include 
all appropriate organizational reference changes. The changes set forth 
in this document are nonsubstantive or merely procedural in nature, 
pertaining to internal agency operations.
    In a separate technical correction document published in today's 
Federal Register, 15 parts of the Customs Regulations that contain 
provisions which require such extensive rewriting that they cannot be 
presented in the table format employed here are revised. Also, because 
the Background portion of the other technical correction document more 
fully explains the reasons for the changes reflected in this document, 
it is equally applicable here.

Comments

    Before adopting these interim regulations as final regulations, 
consideration will be given to any written comments timely submitted to 
Customs. Comments submitted will be available for public inspection in 
accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552), Sec. 1.4 
of the Treasury Department Regulations (31 CFR 1.4), and Sec. 103.11(b) 
of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR 103.11(b)), on regular business days 
between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the Regulations Branch, 
U.S. Customs Service, 1099 14th Street, NW--Suite 4000, Washington, DC.

Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date Requirements, the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2) and (b)(B), public notice is 
inapplicable to these interim regulations because they concern matters 
relating to agency management and personnel. Further, inasmuch as these 
amendments merely advise the public of Customs new field and 
Headquarters organization which will be in effect October 1, 1995 (the 
beginning of the fiscal year), good cause exists for dispensing with 
notice and public procedure thereon as unnecessary. For the same 
reasons, it is determined that good cause exists under the provisions 
of 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(2) and (3) for dispensing with the requirement for a 
delayed effective date. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is 
required for interim regulations, 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 E.O. 12866.

Attorney, Office of Regulations and Rulings, Regulations Branch.
