DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
31 CFR Subtitle A, Chs. I and II
Semiannual Agenda
AGENCY: Department of the Treasury.
ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: This notice is given pursuant to the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-354, September 19, 1980) and
Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and Review,''
September 30, 1993), which require the publication by the Department of
a semiannual agenda of regulations.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The agency contact identified in the
item relating to that regulation.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 25, 2002, the President signed
the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (the Act), establishing the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Act transferred the United
States Customs Service from the Department of the Treasury to the DHS,
where it is now known as the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.
Notwithstanding the transfer of the Customs Service to DHS, the Act
provides that the Secretary of the Treasury retains sole legal
authority over the customs revenue functions, and authorizes the
Secretary to delegate any of this retained authority to the Secretary
of Homeland Security. By Treasury Department Order No. 100-16, the
Secretary of the Treasury delegated to the Secretary of Homeland
Security authority to prescribe regulations pertaining to the customs
revenue functions. This Order further provided that the Secretary of
the Treasury retained the sole authority to approve any such
regulations concerning import quotas or trade bans; user fees; marking
and labeling; copyright and trademark enforcement; and the completion
of entry or substance of entry summary, including duty assessment and
collection, classification, valuation, application of the U.S.
Harmonized Schedules, eligibility or requirements for preferential
trade programs, and the establishment of recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, these regulations are listed in the semiannual regulatory
agenda of the Departmental Offices of the Department of the Treasury.
Because of continuing limitations in the computer software used to
prepare the agenda, the agency information under the heading ``For
Further Information Contact'' for most of these regulations incorrectly
indicates the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection contact person is
an employee of the Department of the Treasury rather than the
Department of Homeland Security.
The semiannual agenda of the Department of the Treasury
conforms to the Unified Agenda format developed by the Regulatory
Information Service Center (RISC).
Dated: March 23, 2006.
Richard S. Carro,
Senior Advisor to the General Counsel for Regulatory Affairs.

COMPENSATION FOR INSURED LOSSES
Priority: Other Significant
Legal Authority: 5 USC 301; Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, Title

CFR Citation: 31 CFR 50
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: As the statutorily authorized administrator of the Terrorism

regulations to implement the Program. Under the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Act of 2002, title I, Public Law 107-297, and the Terrorism
Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, Public Law 109-144, the Federal
Government shares the risk of insured losses from certified acts of
terrorism with commercial property and casualty insurers until the
Program sunsets on December 31, 2007. This rule incorporates and
clarifies statutory requirements for the recoupment of the Federal
share of compensation for insured losses. The rule establishes
requirements for determining amounts to be recouped and for procedures
insurers are to use for collecting terrorism policy surcharges and
remitting them to the Treasury.

or otherwise disposing of the merchandise. Instead of the condition
being applicable when CBP labels merchandise, the condition would be
applicable when CBP notifies the principal either in writing or

Abstract: Amendment to reflect CBP's planned centralization of the
continuous bond program at the National Finance Center (NFC). Pursuant
to this centralization, all continuous bonds would be filed at the NFC
via mail, fax, or in an electronic format. The NFC would assume most of
the bond functions previously performed at the port level, with the
noted exception that the authority to approve single transaction bonds
will remain with port directors. These changes would support CBP's bond
program by ensuring an efficient and uniform approach to the approval,
maintenance, and periodic review of continuous bonds.

Legal Authority: 19 USC 66; 19 USC 1202; 19 USC 1624; 19 USC 3314
CFR Citation: 19 CFR 181
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Currently, CBP regulations do not limit the time that an
importer has to file a post-entry claim for tariff preference level
(TPL) treatment under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Implementation Act. This amendment would limit the filing of post-entry
TPL claims to 1 year, the same amount of time allowed for post-entry
claims for NAFTA ``originating merchandise.'' This amendment also
clarifies that for an importer to claim the exemption of the
merchandise processing fee for goods that meet a NAFTA rule of origin
even when the goods are unconditionally free, the importer is subject
to the same declaration requirement that is established for claiming
NAFTA duty preference. Lastly, the amendment clarifies that a
Certificate of Origin is not required for a commercial importation for
which the total value of originating goods does not exceed $2,500.

CFR Citation: 19 CFR 177; 19 CFR 174; 19 CFR 173; 19 CFR 142
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Amendments to implement the administrative rulings process as
well as the filing and administrative review of protests against
specific decisions of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Amendments
reflect changes to the underlying statutory authority to parts 177 and
174 of title 19 of the CFR made by the Customs Modernization Provisions
of the North American Free Trade Agreement (``NAFTA'') Implementation
Act. Proposed changes to part 174 also reflect statutory amendments
made by the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1999
regarding protests against decisions on post-importation NAFTA claims
and the time required for allowing or denying an application for
further review of a protest. Additional changes to part 174 are
proposed to reflect statutory amendments made by the Miscellaneous
Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 which impact the types of
matters that are subject to protest, and extend various protest time
limits such as the time to file and amend a protest, the time for a
surety to file a protest, and the time to file a request for
accelerated disposition of a protest. Other changes proposed serve to
modernize, clarify, and enhance current CBP administrative rulings and
protest procedures and reflect the nomenclature changes effected by the
transfer of CBP to the Department of Homeland Security and the
subsequent renaming of the U.S. Customs Service as the Bureau of
Customs and Border Protection.

Abstract: Amendment of the CBP regulations to update, restructure and
consolidate the regulations relating to the country of origin of
textile and apparel products. Amendments reflect changes brought about,
in part, by the expiration on January 1, 2005, of the Agreement on
Textiles and Clothing and the resulting elimination of quotas on the
entry of textile and apparel products from World Trade Organization
members. The primary regulatory change is the elimination of the
requirement that a textile declaration be submitted for all
importations of textile and apparel products. In addition, to improve
the quality of reporting of the manufacturer of imported textiles and
apparel products, the amendments include a requirement that importers
identify the manufacturer of such products through a manufacturer
identification code.

CFR Citation: 31 CFR 50
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This interim final rule implements amendments to the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) by the Terrorism Risk
Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (Extension Act). TRIA established a
temporary Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (Program) that was scheduled
to expire on December 31, 2005 under which the Federal Government
shared the risk of insured losses from certified acts of terrorism with
commercial property and casualty insurers. The Extension Act extends
the Program through December 31, 2007 and makes other changes to TRIA.
This interim final rule specifically addresses changes to the types of
property and casualty insurance covered by the Act, the requirements to
satisfy the Act's mandatory availability (``make available'') provision
and the operation of the new ``Program Trigger'' provision in section
103(e) of the Extension Act.

Abstract: We are issuing this advance notice of proposed rulemaking
(``Advance Notice'') as a part of our ongoing effort to address, in the
context of the Bank Secrecy Act, the issue of access to banking
services by money services businesses. Both the banking industry and
the money service business industry have expressed concerns with regard
to the impact of Bank Secrecy Act regulations on the ability of money
service businesses to open and maintain accounts and obtain other
financial services at banks and other depository institutions. Due to
the concerns about the effect of regulatory requirements on the
provision of banking services to money services businesses, we, through
the Non-Bank Financial Institutions and the Examinations subcommittees
of the Bank Secrecy Act Advisory Group, held a fact-finding meeting on
March 8, 2005, to hear directly from banks, other depository
institutions, and money services businesses concerning the challenges
that they face on this issue

USC 3702; 31 USC 3712
CFR Citation: 31 CFR 245
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: Title 31 CFR part 245 governs the issuance of replacement
checks for checks drawn on the United States Treasury when: 1) The
original check has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, or
defaced to such an extent that it is rendered non-negotiable; 2) the
original check has been negotiated and paid on a forged or unauthorized
indorsement; and 3) the original check has been cancelled pursuant to
31 CFR part 240. This regulation is being revised to update the
regulation's definitions to make them consistent with the language of
the revisions to the definitions in 31 CFR part 240. Other revisions
will govern the use of the Check Forgery Insurance Fund (Fund). The
Fund is a revolving fund established to settle payee claims of
nonreceipt where the original check has been fraudulently negotiated.
The Fund ensures that innocent payees, whose Treasury checks have been
fraudulently cashed, receive replacement checks in a timely manner. The
NPRM is on hold pending implementation of the Expanded Check Forgery
Insurance Fund Legislation (CFIF) and the Treasury Check Information
System (TCIS).

Abstract: This regulation governs the procedures for securing payment
for money judgments against the United States. The proposed revision
will update these procedures. This revision will benefit claimants and
others in understanding the judgment payment process. This regulation
currently describes a process that involves the General Accounting
Office (GAO) and the Treasury Department. The revision will remove the
GAO from this description to reflect legislative amendments that effect
this change. Also, the regulation currently identifies monetary
thresholds that no longer exist. The change will reflect the removal of
these monetary limitations. These revisions will make the regulation
consistent with current procedures for securing payment of money
judgments against the United States.

CFR Citation: 27 CFR 4; 27 CFR 5; 27 CFR 7

Abstract: TTB requests public comment on possible changes to the
labeling and advertising requirements of alcohol beverage products
regulated by TTB. TTB has long required certain labeling, such as brand
name, class and type, alcohol content (in the case of wines containing
more than 14 percent alcohol by volume and distilled spirits), net
contents, and in recent years has published updated standards for the
use of carbohydrate and calorie claims. Because of petitions to mandate
additional information, including ingredient, allergen, alcohol,
calorie, and carbohydrate content and requests by some to use labels
with at least some of that additional information on a voluntary basis
under existing rules, TTB believes it is now appropriate to consider
revising the alcohol beverage labeling and advertising regulations, and
seeks public comment on several issues to assist TTB in formulating
specific regulatory proposals.
