SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On September 5, 2000, Customs published in the Federal Register (65 
FR 53565) T.D. 00-57 that revised the Customs Regulations relating to 
the filing of petitions in penalty, liquidated damages, and seizure 
cases. Parts 171 and 172 of the Customs Regulations were recrafted in 
that document to include petition processing in seizure and unsecured 
penalty cases under part 171 and liquidated damages and secured penalty 
petition processing under part 172. It has come to Customs attention 
that the amendatory instructions regarding appendix C to part 171 set 
forth in that document inadvertently failed to remove a section and a 
note in the Appendix which were

[[Page 65770]]

intended to be removed. Not removing the section resulted in the next 
section being redesignated incorrectly. Section I.H. and the note 
following section I.H. were intended to be removed, but were not, and 
section I.H. was incorrectly designated as section I.F. This document 
corrects these errors by removing section I.H. and the note following 
section I.H., and redesignating section I.I. as section I.F.

Correction of Publication

    Accordingly, the publication on September 5, 2000, of the final 
rule (T.D. 00-57, 65 FR 53565) is corrected as follows:
    1. On page 53578, in the third column, the fifth amending 
instruction is revised to read as follows:

Appendix C to Part 171 [Amended]

    5. Appendix C to Part 171 is amended by removing the Note following 
section I.D., removing section I.E., redesignating section I.F. as 
section I.E., removing sections I.G. and I.H. and the NOTE following 
section I.H., and redesignating section I.I. as section I.F.

    Dated: October 30, 2000.

Assistant Commissioner, Office of Regulations and Rulings.
