Supplementary Information
Background
The final regulations (T.D. 98-16) that were published in the Federal Register on March 5, 1998 (63 FR 10970) revised part 191 of the Customs Regulations relating to drawback (19 CFR part 191). These final regulations contained an error in one of the general manufacturing drawback rulings in Appendix A to part 191, that could prove misleading. This document corrects the error.
Need for Correction
In Appendix A to part 191, the introductory text for general manufacturing drawback ruling ``IV.'' incorrectly describes the exported articles that are manufactured under the ruling as burlap or other textile material. As made clear in the body of the general ruling, however, the exported articles in fact consist of bags or meat wrappers. The bags or meat wrappers are manufactured from imported burlap or other textile material. The general ruling is largely a republication of a general drawback contract that formerly appeared in the Customs Bulletin in T.D. 83-53, 17 Cust. Bull. 96 (1983). As published, the introductory text in T.D. 83-53 misdescribed the exported articles. This error was repeated in the corresponding introductory text of general manufacturing drawback ruling ``IV.'' in Appendix A to part 191. Accordingly, this document corrects the introductory text of general manufacturing drawback ruling ``IV.'' to properly reflect the exported articles that are manufactured under the ruling.
