SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On June 16, 1998, Customs published in the Federal Register (63 FR 
32916) as T.D. 98-56 a final rule document setting forth final 
amendments to the Customs Regulations to reflect changes to the Customs 
laws regarding recordkeeping requirements, examination of records and 
witnesses, regulatory audit procedures, and judicial enforcement 
contained in the Customs Modernization provisions of the North American 
Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (Pub. L. 103-182, 107 Stat. 
2057). The majority of those final regulatory texts are contained in 
new part 163 (19 CFR part 163) which reflects general recordkeeping 
requirements applicable to persons who engage in specified types of 
customs transactions.
    Within new part 163, Sec. 163.6 includes requirements concerning 
the production and examination of entry records and prescribes the 
monetary penalty assessment and additional actions that Customs may 
take for a failure to comply with those requirements. Within 
Sec. 163.6, paragraph (b)(2)(i) specifies the additional actions that 
Customs may take and paragraph (b)(2)(ii) sets forth an exception to 
the paragraph (b)(2)(i) general rule. However, the text of paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii), as published, improperly included a reference to paragraph 
``(b)(2)(ii)(B)'' which should have read ``(b)(2)(i)(B)''. This 
document corrects this typographical error.

Correction to the Final Regulations


Sec. 163.6  [Corrected]

    On page 32948, in the third column, in Sec. 163.6, in paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii), the reference ``(b)(2)(ii)(B)'' is corrected to read 
``(b)(2)(i)(B)''.

    Dated: June 22, 1998.

Chief, Regulations Branch.
