Technical Corrections Regarding Customs Organization

AGENCY: Customs Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document makes final, with certain technical corrections, 
the interim amendments to the Customs Regulations that reflected 
Customs new organizational structure. The changes are nonsubstantive or 
merely procedural in nature.

EFFECTIVE DATE: These changes are effective March 22, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jerry Laderberg, Entry and Carrier 
Rulings Branch, Office of Regulations and Rulings (202) 927-2077, or 
Gregory R. Vilders, Regulations Branch, Office of Regulations and 
Rulings (202) 927-2340.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 27, 1995, Customs published interim regulations in the 
Federal Register (T.D. 95-77 at 60 FR 50008 and T.D. 95-78 at 60 FR 
50020) to implement its new field organization, effective for fiscal 
year 1996. Because the regulations concerned matters related to agency 
management and personnel, notice, public procedure, and a delayed 
effective date were not necessary, and the regulations became effective 
on October 1, 1995. Even though notice and public procedure were not 
required, Customs did solicit comments on the interim regulations. The 
comment period closed November 27, 1995. Only one comment was received, 
which addressed a very narrow issue concerning brokers' permits. The 
comment received and Customs response are set forth below.

Discussion of Comment

    Comment: The one comment received questioned why Customs stated in 
the BACKGROUND portion of the interim regulations (T.D. 95-77) that it 
was eliminating, for the most part, districts and regions from its 
field organization to place more emphasis on field operations, and then 
retained this distinction for purposes of brokers' permits. The 
commenter urged that the 20 Customs Management Centers' geographical 
boundaries be adopted as the basis for issuing broker permits, rather 
than use the Service Port boundaries. The commenter objected to the 
continued use of the terms ``district'' and ``region'' for the limited 
purposes of regulating the permitting of customs brokers (part 111 of 
the Customs Regulations) and carriers, cartmen, and lightermen (part 
112 of the Customs Regulations), as not being within the spirit of 
Customs reorganization or the National Performance Review.
    Customs Response: Customs does not agree with this assessment. As 
more fully stated in the BACKGROUND portion of the interim regulations, 
districts and regions will still exist as geographical descriptions for 
limited purposes such as for broker permits and certain cartage and 
lighterage purposes. In the case of brokers, Customs decided to 
preserve the district permit and region waiver procedures because these 
procedures are mandated by statute (see, 19 U.S.C. 1641). Also, during 
the course of the reorganization, Customs consulted with the Customs 
brokerage industry and was informed that the industry's preference, in 
the short-term, was to retain the current scheme until it had time to 
assess the effects of both the new field structure and the automation 
initiatives made pursuant to the Customs Modernization provisions of 
the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act (provisions 
pertaining to the National Customs Automation Program are at 19 U.S.C. 
1411). Customs believes that its consultation with the Customs 
brokerage industry was in the spirit of Customs reorganization and the 
National Performance Review. Accordingly, at this time no further 
change to the Customs Regulations is made based on the comment 
received.

Changes to Interim Regulations

    In reviewing the interim regulations, Customs finds that further 
changes to 95 sections of the regulations must be made to correct 
grammatical and nomenclature errors. Following is a summary of those 
changes.
    Further nomenclature changes are made to more than 80 sections and 
Appendices: Secs. 4.14, 4.80a, 4.80b, 10.5, 10.37, 10.39, 12.8, 12.39, 
18.8, 18.21, 101.3, 103.0, 103.1, 103.5, 103.7, 103.9, 103.31, 111.13, 
111.19, 111.95, 111.96, 113.14, 113.15, 113.38, 113.39, 115.11, 115.13, 
115.30, 115.40, 115.51, 115.65, 122.14, 122.165, 122.176, 125.42, 
132.14, 133.2, 133.12, 133.32, 134.54, 145.4, 146.2, 146.4, 146.6, 
146.83, 162.32, 162.42, 162.44 through 162.50, 162.52, 162.64, 162.65, 
162.71, 162.72, 162.74 through 162.79, 162.79b, 171.12, 171.15, 171.21 
through 171.23, 171.31, 171.33, and 171.52, Appendices A-C to Part 171, 
Secs. 172.2, 172.12, 172.21, 172.22, 172.31, 172.33, 175.25, 177.2, and 
177.26. These changes, for the most part, continue the conversion of 
``district director'' to ``port director'' or to ``Fines, Penalties, 
and Forfeitures Officer'', replace an obsolete term (``collector'') 
with ``port director'', replace the Office of Inspection and Control 
with the Office of Field Operations, and further inform the public of 
responsible offices and personnel, e.g., ``Disclosure Law Officer'' for 
Regulations and Disclosure Law Branch. Since publication of the

[[Page 13674]]

interim regulations, Customs Headquarters has been relocated from 1301 
Constitution Avenue to 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. 
Accordingly, this street address change is made to the 19 sections 
where a writing address is provided. The change to the ports-of-entry 
listing at Sec. 101.3 entails moving the listing for ``Longview'' from 
Oregon to Washington, which is where the port is physically located. 
Also, a change is made to Sec. 103.1 to show the correct street address 
for the Boston reading room facility where public documents are 
maintained.
    Grammatical changes to make the text read more clearly are made to 
9 sections: Secs. 4.41, 10.172, 19.2, 19.3, 19.40, 24.4, 24.36, 101.0, 
and 101.4. Most of these changes are in the form of substituting 
prepositional phrases, i.e., replacing ``in'' with ``at'' or removing 
redundant references to port directors at ports.

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

    Inasmuch as these amendments merely advise the public of Customs 
field and Headquarters organization, and make certain technical 
corrections to the organization that is currently in place under 
interim regulations, 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 was required, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This document does not meet 
the criteria for a ``significant regulatory action'' as specified in 
Executive Order 12866.
    Drafting Information. The principal author of this document was 
Gregory R. Vilders, Attorney, Office of Regulations and Rulings, 
Regulations Branch. However, personnel from other offices participated
