On April 19, 2017, the Census Bureau revised the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR). The revisions to the FTR reflected the implementation of the International Trade Data System, in accordance with the Executive Order 13659, Streamlining the Export/Import Process for American Businesses. In the Final Rule, the Census Bureau also amended the appendices section. Appendices B, C, E, and F were removed and appendix D was revised and redesignated as the new appendix B. With the revisions to the appendices section, there are a few sections of the FTR that were inadvertently not updated to reflect these changes. This document corrects the final regulations.

Background

    The Census Bureau is responsible for collecting, compiling, and 
publishing trade statistics for the United States under the provisions 
of Title 13 of the United States Code (U.S.C.), Chapter 9, Section 301. 
The Census Bureau published a Final Rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 
18383, April 19, 2017) that revised the Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) 
to reflect new export reporting requirements. In the Final Rule the 
Census Bureau amended the appendices section. Appendices B, C, E, and F 
were removed and appendix D was revised and redesignated as the new 
appendix B. With the revisions to the appendices section, there are a 
few sections of the FTR that were inadvertently not updated to reflect 
the changes to the appendices.

    To comply with the requirements of the Foreign Relations Act, 
Public Law 107-228, the Census Bureau is amending relevant sections of 
the FTR to revise or clarify export reporting requirements. Therefore,

D with appendix B in the definition of ``Exemption legend'' because 
appendix D is redesignated as appendix B.

D with appendix B in the definition of ``Postdeparture filing

unloading'' with ``Foreign port of unlading.''
     Revise Sec.  30.4(b)(3) to replace ``Foreign port of 
unloading'' with ``Foreign port of unlading.''
     Revise Sec.  30.4(b)(4)(ii)(A) to replace the reference to 
appendix D with appendix B because appendix D is redesignated as 
appendix B.
     Revise Sec.  30.6(a)(18) to remove the reference to 
appendix B because this appendix is removed from the FTR.
     Revise Sec.  30.7(b) to replace the reference to appendix 
D with appendix B because appendix D is redesignated as appendix B.

with these requirements constitutes a violation of the regulations in 
this part and renders such principal party or the authorized agent 
subject to the penalties provided for in subpart H of this part.
