SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On May 13, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Office of
Finance, Revenue Division, relocated its physical office to 8899 E 56th
Street, Indianapolis, IN 46249. As a result, this final rule amends
part 24 (Customs Financial and Accounting Procedure) and part 128
(Express Consignments) of title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) to reflect this change in mailing address. The Office of Finance,
Revenue Division's address is provided to the public to allow for: the
receipt of express consignment carrier applications; the freezing of
importer identification (ID) requests; and the mailing of automated
clearinghouse enrollments to the Office of Finance, Revenue Division.
In addition to the change in mailing address, this document updates
references to CBP's National Finance Center and the Office of
Administration to reflect internal restructuring. The telephone numbers
for the Office of Finance, Revenue Division, remain unchanged.
II. Discussion of Changes to Parts 24 and 128
CBP is making the following changes within 19 CFR parts 24 and 128
to reflect the address change of the Office of Finance, Revenue
Division, and changes to the internal organizational structure of the
agency:
<bullet> In Sec. 24.3a(c)(1), CBP is removing the phrase ``the
CBP's Revenue Division, Office of Administration'' and adding in its
place ``CBP's Revenue Division.''
<bullet> In Sec. 24.5(f), CBP is removing the phrase ``the
National Finance Center, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of
Administration, Revenue Division, 6650 Telecom Drive, Suite 100,
Indianapolis, IN 46278, Attn: Freeze Program'' and adding in its place
``U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Revenue Division, Attn: Freeze
Program, 8899 E 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46249.'' Additionally, in
Sec. 24.5(f), CBP is replacing ``Customs'' with ``CBP'' where
appropriate to reflect the renaming of the U.S. Customs Service to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection on March 31, 2007 (see Homeland Security
Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296; 72 FR 20131, dated April 23, 2007).
<bullet> In Sec. 24.22(c)(3) and (e)(2), CBP is removing the
phrase ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Attn: DTOPS Program
Administrator, 6650 Telecom Drive, Suite 100, Indianapolis, IN 46278''
and adding in its place ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Revenue
Division, Attn: DTOPS Program Administrator, 8899 E 56th Street,
Indianapolis, IN 46249.''
<bullet> In Sec. 24.22(i), CBP is removing the phrase ``6650
Telecom Drive, Suite 100, Indianapolis, IN 46278'' and adding in its
place ``8899 E 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46249.'' Additionally, CBP
is removing the phrase ``Office of Administration,'' to reflect
internal structuring changes.
[[Page 40043]]
<bullet> In Sec. 24.23(b)(4)(iii)(A) and (b)(4)(iii)(C)(1), CBP is
removing the phrase ``Customs and Border Protection, Revenue Division/
Attention: Reimbursables, 6650 Telecom Drive, Suite 100, Indianapolis,
Indiana 46278'' and adding in its place ``U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Revenue Division, Attn: Reimbursables, 8899 E 56th Street,
Indianapolis, IN 46249.''
<bullet> In Sec. 24.24(c)(8)(i), (e)(1)(ii), (e)(2)(iii),
(e)(3)(ii), (e)(4)(iii), and (e)(4)(iv)(A), CBP is removing the phrase
``Office of Administration, Revenue Division, Customs and Border
Protection, using the current address posted at <a href="http://Forms.CBP.gov">Forms.CBP.gov</a>'' and
adding in its place ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of
Finance, Revenue Division, 8899 E 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN
46249.''
<bullet> In Sec. 24.24(g), CBP is removing the phrase ``at the
current address posted at <a href="http://Forms.CBP.gov">Forms.CBP.gov</a>'' and adding in its place ``at
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Finance, Revenue
Division, 8899 E 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46249.''
<bullet> In Sec. 24.26(b), CBP is removing the phrase ``the
National Finance Center, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of
Administration, Revenue Division, 6650 Telecom Drive, Suite 100,
Indianapolis, IN 46278'' and adding in its place ``U.S. Customs and
Border Protection, Revenue Division, 8899 E 56th Street, Indianapolis,
IN 46249.'' Additionally, CBP is removing the phrase ``facsimile
number'' and adding in its place ``email address'' to correct a
discrepancy with the approved information collection.
<bullet> In Sec. 128.11(b)(7)(iv), CBP is removing the phrase
``Customs and Border Protection, Revenue Division/Attention:
Reimbursables, 6650 Telecom Drive, Suite 100, Indianapolis, Indiana
46278'' and adding in its place ``U.S. Customs and Border Protection,
Revenue Division, Attn: Reimbursables, 8899 E 56th Street,
Indianapolis, IN 46249.''
III. Statutory and Regulatory Requirements
A. Inapplicability of Notice and Delayed Effective Date
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requirements in 5 U.S.C. 553
govern agency rulemaking procedures. Section 553(b) of the APA
generally requires notice and public comment before issuance of a final
rule. In addition, section 553(d) of the APA requires that a final rule
have a 30-day delayed effective date. The APA, however, provides
exceptions from the prior notice and the public comment and the delayed
effective date requirements, for rules of ``agency organization,
procedure, and practice.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). Because these amendments
are technical, non-substantive changes, which are necessary to ensure
the accuracy and clarity of the CFR and do not alter any substantive
regulatory requirements, this rule is exempted from the notice-and-
comment requirements of the APA.
Additionally, the APA provides exceptions from the notice-and-
comment requirements when an agency for good cause finds that such
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), (d)(3). In this case, CBP finds
that good cause exists for dispensing with prior notice and public
comment procedure as unnecessary, as required in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B),
because the amendments to the regulations are merely technical,
removing outdated provisions and making non-substantive administrative
changes reflecting current practice. For the same reasons, CBP finds
that good cause exists for dispensing with the requirement for a
delayed effective date as required in 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
B. Signing Authority
In accordance with Treasury Order 100-20, the Secretary of the
Treasury delegated to the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority
related to the customs revenue functions vested in the Secretary of the
Treasury as set forth in 6 U.S.C. 212 and 215, subject to certain
exceptions. This regulation is being issued in accordance with DHS
Directive 07010.3, Revision 03.2, which delegates to the Commissioner
of CBP the authority to prescribe and sign regulations related to
customs revenue functions.
Rodney S. Scott, Commissioner, having reviewed and approved this
document, has delegated the authority to electronically sign this
document to the Director (or Acting Director, if applicable) of the
Regulations and Disclosure Law Division of CBP, for purposes of
publication in the Federal Register.
