SUMMARY: On March 30, 2026, the Bureau of the Census (Census Bureau)
published a final rule in the Federal Register entitled '' Streamlining
the Census Bureau's Foreign Trade Regulations'', which became effective
on March 30, 2026. Subsequent review of the final rule in the Federal
Register identified an error necessitating corrective action.
Accordingly, this final rule issues a non-substantive correction to the
Foreign Trade Regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Census Bureau, as delegated by the
Secretary of Commerce, is responsible for collecting, compiling, and
publishing import and export trade statistics for the United States
under the provisions of Title 13, United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter
9, Section 301(a). Under 13 U.S.C. 302, the Secretary of Commerce is
authorized to promulgate regulations necessary or proper to carry out
the purposes of and prevent the circumvention of the requirements of
Chapter 9 of Title 13. The Secretary also may promulgate regulations
covering the confidentiality, publication, and disclosure of
information collected under Chapter 9. Under the aforementioned
authorities, the Census Bureau is issuing this final rule to revise the
note to Sec. 30.2(a)(1)(iv). Due to an oversight, the note
inadvertently references a removed section, Sec. 30.16.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Department finds good cause to
waive the prior notice and opportunity for public participation
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act for this final rule.
The Department has determined that prior notice and opportunity for
public participation is unnecessary because this rule only removes a
reference to regulatory language that no longer exists. The Department
has also determined that delaying the removal of this reference for the
sake of carrying out the notice and comment process would be contrary
to the public interest, as the reference being removed no longer serves
any meaningful function but does pose a risk of confusion and
distraction. The Department therefore finds good cause to waive the
public notice and comment period under 553(b)(B) and, for the same
reason, to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness under 553(d).
