SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On July 17, 2001, Customs published a notice in the Federal Register (66 FR 37370) setting forth proposed amendments to part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 CFR part 177). Part 177 concerns the issuance of administrative rulings and related written determinations and decisions on prospective and current transactions arising under the Customs and related laws.

This document corrects three errors in that published document. One error appeared in the Background portion of the preamble of the document and involves replacement of the words “as described above” by the citation “(19 U.S.C. 1625)” in order to remove a contextual ambiguity in the discussion in question. The other two errors involve the following provisions in the proposed regulatory texts:

1. In proposed § 177.11, in the third sentence of paragraph (b)(3)(vi)(B), the words “would includes” should be corrected to read “would include” for grammatical purposes; and

2. In proposed § 177.41, paragraph (c)(2)(i)(A) refers to a request filed under “paragraph (d) of this section” but no paragraph (d) is included in § 177.41—this reference should be corrected to read “§ 177.44.”

Corrections of Publication

Accordingly, the document published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2001 (66 FR 37370), is corrected as set forth below.

1. On page 37370, in the second column, fourth paragraph, the third line is corrected by removing the words “as described above” and adding, in their place, the reference “(19 U.S.C. 1625)”.
