Supplementary Information
Background
In accordance with Customs policy of periodically reviewing its regulations to ensure that they are current and accurate, Customs has discovered that there is a typographical error in Sec. 142.23, Customs Regulations (19 CFR 142.23). Section 142.23 was amended by Treasury Decision 80-26, which was published in the Federal Register (45 FR 3901) on January 21, 1980. When that amendment was codified in Title 19 in 1980, the word ``period'' was inadvertently omitted. The error has been carried forward in each volume of Title 19 since that publication. This document corrects the error.
Inapplicability of Public Notice and Comment and Delayed Effective Date Requirements, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866
Inasmuch as this amendment merely corrects a typographical error, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), notice and public procedure thereon are unnecessary, and pursuant to 5 U.S.C. (d)(3), a delayed effective date is not required. Since this document is not subject to the notice and public procedure requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553, it is not subject to the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This amendment does not meet the criteria for a ``significant regulatory action'' as defined in Executive Order 12866.
